      While many young men left Australia to fight overseas during World War II, one large group of men made a significant contribution to the war effort back home.

      These were the men of the Civil Construction Corps (CCC) who were responsible for building many major facilities throughout Australia during World War II.

      The CCC was established in the dark days of the Pacific War utilising the skills of thousands of tradesmen, building workers and labourers.

      The men of the CCC did a wonderful job for the Australian and US forces during World War II. They carried out their building requirements all over Australia, particularly in northern parts. It was just like being in the forces because you had to go wherever they sent you.
