Brief History
102nd Australian Convalescent Depot was raised at Enoggera in December 1941 within the Northern Command AAMC Training Depot, before becoming a separate unit in May 1942. It was relocated in June to Warwick and then to Burleigh Heads (Tallebudgera) where it was reduced to 500 beds in November 1944. It was to remain there until the conclusion of the war.
This camp was located on the current site of the Sport and
Recreation Camp at Tallebudgera. Here men recuperating,
often from malaria contracted in New Guinea, could gain
strength with medical attention, abundant food, sunshine,
swimming and walking. It was a big camp and staff stayed
in tents which were subject to the vagaries
of the weather and the insect population.
