Veterans in New South Wales
New South Wales hosts the largest veteran population in the country by volume. Holsworthy Barracks in Sydney’s south-west, the Singleton and Liverpool ranges, Garden Island and HMAS Kuttabul, RAAF Williamtown near Newcastle, and Bandiana’s connection to the Albury-Wodonga corridor — the state is dense with current and former service members across all three services.
