| Cockscomb Veterans Community [YOU WILL NOW LEAVE THE community.gov.au WEBSITE] | | Description | Cockscomb Veteran Retreat came about from an idea that was developed some four years ago, between a number of the Vietnam Veterans in the Central Queensland area. The Veterans came up with a plan to develop an area somewhere in the bush as a reasonably isolated camp/retreat. A place where fellow veterans could go, when things were getting tough, or when they felt the need to be out of it and alone for a while, or the need to lean on someone for moral support, or find someone that could walk the walk, talk the talk and understand the burden. | | Author | Community Organisation - Cockscomb Veterans Community |
| Pandanus Park [YOU WILL NOW LEAVE THE community.gov.au WEBSITE] | | Description | "Project Pandanus is the Australian War Veterans Retreat in Cooktown, Queensland.

His idea was to have an area of land set aside for the use of all Australian War Veterans to enable them to rest, relax and meet up with old mates." | | Author | Individuals - The Pandanus Project |
