ANZAC 2019

            Elliott Heads,Bundaberg Australia

Elliot Heads was also an important lookout during the war. The lookout was manned by members of the 10th Battalion
Volunteer Defence Corps. The volunteers were responsible for reporting any enemy movement in the vicinity, but it is
remembered more for its role as a submarine lookout. Submarine attacks by the Japanese had been particularly
prominent along the east coast of Australia. Three Japanese midget submarines had entered Sydney Harbour in May 1942,
one of which sunk the HMAS Kuttabul. Japanese submarines harassed Australian merchant shipping along the coast in
1943, sinking five merchant ships. Then, in May 1943, a Japanese submarine torpedoed the Australian Hospital Ship
Centaur off the coast from Caloundra on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, resulting in the death of 268 of the passengers and
crew.
Two posts from the submarine lookout remain extant. The Woongarra Shire Council erected a plaque to commemorate
the volunteer defence corps on this site in 1989. More recently, it has become a focal point for war commemoration,
particularly on Anzac Day.
