World War II Fuel Storage Tanks – Wolseley

Former Wolseley Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot including pump house, drum filling platform and six fuel tanks.

Built in two stages in 1941-42 and 1942-43, Wolseley Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot is of heritage value as evidence of the measures implemented to safeguard Australia’s strategic stores in the face of the national defence emergency of the Second World War. Of the four generally similar fuel depots built in South Australia, Wolseley is the oldest, largest, most complex and best preserved.
