Can you imagine soldiers marching across this very ground? Oakleigh Barracks, a sprawling complex on North Road, has been a vital part of Melbourne’s military history for over a century. Built in the early 20th century, it served as a training ground for soldiers preparing for World War I and later for the Korean War. Today, the barracks continue to house a range of military units, including the 17th Combat Service Support Brigade. Did you know these halls bear witness not only to military might but also to a poignant story of remembrance? Two honor rolls, now listed on the Victorian Heritage Database, pay tribute to those who served in the Great War. Stepping onto this hallowed ground, you can almost hear the echoes of their courage and sacrifice. The spirit of those who left these barracks to fight for their country lives on here, a silent testament to the enduring legacy of Oakleigh Barracks.
