Step inside one of Australia's largest military bases and headquarters of the 7th Brigade for its annual open day on Saturday, March 14, 2026,



The Gallipoli Barracks , also known as the Enoggera Barracks, is home to working units including armoured, artillery, engineer, signals, infantry, medical and other combat service support units. The 7th Brigade was first raised in 1915 to fight in Gallipoli and on the Western Front during World War 1. Since those early days, the brigade has gone on to serve Australia in all corners of the globe, supporting national security efforts wherever they’re needed. And it’s not just overseas — the 7th Brigade has also stepped up on home soil, taking part in domestic operations to assist communities and help protect the nation when it matters most.



The Barracks will be open to the public for this FREE event from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM with displays and information sessions about working life in the military. You can see the capability of the Australian Army and get up close to some of its range of military trucks and equipment, including:
40M - tactical vehicle
HX77 - heavy tactical trucks
Hawkei - a light 4 wheel drive protected vehicle
Military working dog demonstration and
