Uncovering Australia's Military Secrets: The Gun Emplacements of Lithgow
Channel: The Holiday Hunter
Date: 03/03/2023

The only known inland heavy anti-aerial gun emplacement in NSW is Lithgows Bowenfels Gun Emplacement.

During World War II, the Small Arms Factory and important mining, manufacturing, and transportation industries in Lithgow were protected by the Gun Emplacements.

Concerns about the vulnerability of inland areas grew after Japan's entry into World War II and advancements in aircraft technology.

The guns were utilized during Australia filming in 2008 by Baz Luhrmann.

As an essential component of Lithgow's network of defences during World War II, the Bowenfels Gun Emplacements have state historical significance.
