The Minister of Defence, Mr Robert Hill, announced that an RAN Heritage Centre would be built at the northern end of Garden Island, Sydney, to display RAN artifacts. The idea of such an RAN museum was first proposed in the 1920’s, and for many years items were housed in the RAN Historical Collection on Spectacle Island, in Sydney Harbour.
