Scheyville Camp precinct

Scheyville Camp precinct, nestled within Scheyville National Park, offers a captivating journey through Australia's rich history. This site has evolved from a socialist labour settlement to a training ground for young British men, and later, a military camp for officer cadets. Between 1949 and 1964, it served as Australia's largest immigration hostel, welcoming up to 1,500 people annually from over 22 countries. Visitors can explore restored 1920s and 1950s buildings, remnants of older structures, and informative interpretive signs that narrate the site's diverse past. The Migrant Heritage walk provides deeper insights into this compelling history.
