Horn Island World War II conservation Project

Started in 2008 by Vanessa and Liberty Seekee the project aims to restore and conserve a number of sites and artefacts stemming from the Allied presence on the island during World War II.  Included in the conservation project so far are the King Point gun pits with a restored 3.7 inch anti-aircraft installed (34th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery), slit trenches on the airfield perimeter and other supporting infrastructure (plotting rooms, magazines).  The project is complimented by a large number of World War 11 artefacts (photographs, parts of crashed aircraft, commemorative plaques) located in the Torres Strait Heritage Museum located on Horn Island
