Check the website or facebook for opening times - usually 1-4pm on the first Sunday of the month.Guided tours leave on the hour, hosted by members of the reserves Preservation Society. Our guide was knowledgable and the walk through the reserve was absolutely fascinating. A huge part of Altonas history and one that most of us have driven past and always wondered what was behind the corrugated fencing.Stop wondering and go have a look - its well worth doing so!

The Truganina Explosives Reserve is an interesting place in Altona and well worth a visit when they are open - which isnt often. The building itself is still owned by the government and listed for heritage.It was originally in operation in the turn of the last century to around 1962 and was built to store explosives for the mining and construction industry. It still has plenty of sheds but the jetty is no longer there although you can still see the narrow-gauge railway line at the rear of the property along the walking/cycling path.Over the years there has been some discoveries of the first nations people residing in the area with stone artifacts dating back 6,500 years.Its interesting that the name of Truganini is the name of the last true Aboriginal Tasmania (1812-1876and wa the daughter of the tribal elder Mananga of the Aborignes of Bruny Island.

Lovely little bit of Australian history, spoiled ONLY by the fact that nothing blows up.
