About the base

First used as a mobilisation and training area during World War 1. By 1939, the area was formally established as Puckapunyal Camp and military activity in the area began in the early 1940s. The camp's name was derived from the name of a large hill within the field training area, today known as Mount Puckapunyal. There is some uncertainty about the origins of the word ‘Puckapunyal’, the most common explanation being that is an aboriginal word meaning “Among the Hills”.
