Fraser Commando School

The FCS was located on Fraser Island in Southeast Queensland, near to the McKenzies Jetty, 1.6 km south of what is now the Kingfisher Bay Resort.

The FCS was used by over 900 army personnel and was preparing soldiers for their deadly missions behind the Japanese front lines in the jungles of south-east Asia.

FCS was the basic Special Operations training facility for the Services Reconnaissance Department, Far Eastern Liaison Office and also hosted students from the Philippines Regional Section.

Students received instruction in weapons, demolitions, advanced parachuting, water operations using folboats and rubber boats, as well as extensive signals, physical fitness, ships and plane recognition, and unarmed combat training.

The reminisce about the training camp is spare and the debris of concrete slabs and pipes are prohibited to touch for tourist.
