What the charity does

We maintain and promote the historic monument of the Map of Australia the near Compton Chamberlayne in Wiltshire. Using local volunteers we keep the map visible with working parties and maintain a website to ensure that the history of those Australian servicemen that passed through Hurdcott Camp and the servicemen interned in the Commonwealth burial grounds nearby are remembered.
