Randwick Barracks is a military base in Kingsford, New South Wales, Australia. It is the base for a number of support and Australian Army Reserve units.
History The Barracks was initially established in 1841 and by the late 19th century, the site evolved into a military training area. From 1891 to the 1920s, it served as the Randwick Rifle Range and School of Musketry, playing a crucial role in the training of Australian troops.
In 1965, the 1st Topographical Survey Troop was formally raised at the site, and a section of this troop accompanied the 1st Australian Task Force to Vietnam in 1966.
In 2010, a portion of the former military land was transferred to Randwick City Council and became the Randwick Environmental Park. This 13-hectare park, which includes bushland and wetland areas, serves as a community space and is home to diverse native flora and fauna. It was originally part of the Randwick Army Barracks and opened to the public in 2010.
