One Hectare of land forms Cockscomb Veterans Camp. With
Bruce Acutt Cockscomb Veterans Camp came about
and without his dedication it would not exist. Bruce Acutt
is our local Consultant Psychologist and contactable at
4927 9070. Cockscomb was part of a parcel of land originally
called Cockscomb and owned by Bruce and his ex wife.
Cockscomb
has been on the go since July 1997, built by Veterans for
Veterans. Don’t think that because you haven’t had any
input into the construction that you don’t have a place
in the Cockscomb community.
Cockscomb is open to all Veterans and Serving Members of
all Defence Forces
and their Families and to all Emergency Services and the
more who use it the better the place will be.
Local Veterans or visiting Veterans, you are ALL most welcome
to visit, stay over night, or stay for a maximum of 5 days.
