ARMCO MAGAZINE A7
AT MOUNT COOT-THA NAVAL MAGAZINE
AND MINE ASSEMBLY DEPOT
MOUNT COOT-THA, BRISBANE, QLD

Armco Magazine A7 is one of many similar shelters that were part of the US Naval Magazine and Mine Assembly Depot on Mount Coot-tha during WWII. It overlooked the Litchfield Track near the Gold Mine Picnic area. There are some old convict hewn stones retrieved from the Brisbane city area beside an old derelict BBQ at this site.
