Built as an entertainment center for the troops during WW2, the building was part of a 5000 bed hospital. All thats left of the hospital are a few concrete slabs

The restoration is being handled by the local Atherton rotary club.

When I was a boy there were lots of these Nissen huts still around, often being pressed into use as garages or light engineering workshops but most have disappeared now as the corrugated iron rusts away.
Interesting to see one being restored.
Best wishes,

Andrew
