From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wulguru is a suburb of Townsville, Queensland.
At the corner of Diamantina St and Stuart Drive (road to Charters Towers) is a large block of land at the base of Mount Stuart (opposite the Wendal Shopping Centre). During World War II, this was the site of No. 3 Fighter Sector RAAF including bunkers.

3 Fighter Sector Headquarters comprised 32 rooms in the large rectangular concrete building with caneite partitions forming various passageways. The building still stands today and is 60 ft X 42 ft. The mezzanine floor has long since disappeared.
The bunker structure is apparently classified in the Heritage register (ref: 601708) and encompasses the boundary of Diamantina Street, Stuart Drive and Hill Street, Wulguru.
