The first practice firing of ball ammunition took place on 14 September 1863 by the Metropolitan Rifle Volunteers. The Rifle Range was used for 29 years and remained in use until 1895.
With its splendid views of the city and shade of the mature Lemon-scented Gum trees, this venue is most suitable for weddings, social and family functions, film and photography and sport and fitness.
