GREAT ARMS DEPOT

BUILT IN AUSTRALIA Rec. 11 a.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 24,

The existence of Australia's greatest ordnance depot, near Albury, at the junction of the New South Wales and Victorian State railway systems, has been officially revealed. The depot, which covers more than 2000 acres of former bush land, has been built in the last two years at a cost of millions of pounds. The storehouses are packed with tens of millions of pounds' worth of material, representing the bulk of the United States lend-lease ordnance supplies. The depot also has a huge motor transport park. The inland site for the depot was selected when an attack on Australia by Japan was feared to be imminent. Nearly twenty miles of spur lines have been built to accommodate trains from New South .Wales and Victoria.
