The History of Claremont Army Camp

and the Cadbury Peninsula

 

John Wadsley

 

(Wednesday, May 8, 7 - 8 pm)

 

The presentation will explore the history of Triffitts Point (what would become the Cadbury peninsula) from one of Claremont’s earliest colonial farms through to what will become a new housing development. The Army had an interest in a Remount Depot. Then, the Great War saw the creation of Tasmania’s major training camp, which saw over 11,000 men pass through its gates. The attraction of Cadbury to Tasmania in the 1920s saw another significant development for the area.
Presented by John Wadsley.
