ECHUCHA BUNKERS
ECHUCHA, VIC
DURING WW2

visits since 11 October 2006

There are rumours that there is a bunker across the parade ground behind the 301 Regional Cadet Unit Barracks in Echucha, Victoria with a passage that runs for about 10 meters into a room of unknown size. It is also rumoured that there are numerous rooms leading off the passage way. The only thing that is visible is an elongated hole in the ground which has been blocked by earth and a 2 meter by 1 meter deep hole with supports on the sides.

The 301 Regional Cadet Unit Barracks was previously an Army Reserve barracks for the 8th/7th Battalion Royal Victoria Regiment (8/7 RVR). The building is supposed to be a copy of the reserve barracks in Ballarat except that the one in Echuca does not have a second story.
