Scattered along the banks of the Gawler Rivers are some left overs from World War 2, The Gawler Bunkers. There are several types of bunkers that were used during Word War 2.
There are the 3 munitions bunkers located just off Paternoster Road at Reid in Gawler West. Before the Gawler bypass and Northern Expressway were built they were jut a short walk from the Airfield which was used during WW2.
There is the huge secret underground bunker that was used by the Gawler Telecommunications Unit to communicate important information during the war. It had 2 hidden secret entrances and was also a short walk from the airfield. The 2 hidden entrances are some what delafitated now but at my last enquiry I beleive they are being renovated by the current owner of the land they are on.
There are also other bunkers and air raid shelters scattered all around Gawler like the one that can easily be seen on the Two Wells Road.
