HMAS WATSON - Lunch and Establishment Tour

Dear Members. This event information is being reissued with some updated information and to remind you that the activity is now only 19 days away so registering attendance is now requested so we have definitive numbers to pass to the hosts.

The Commanding Officer, HMAS WATSON, has kindly offered to host NWOA members and partners to lunch and a tour of the establishment on Tuesday, 10 November 2026. This will be an opportunity for members to meet with current students engaged in various warfare training disciplines and career stages, be briefed upon and view the recent many upgrades and changes to the training facilities, and enjoy the company of fellow members at this iconic location. Lunch will be held at the Wardroom, 1200 - 1330. The tour will follow at 1330 - 1430. Please indicate your intent to attend this event by adding names to the list at your earliest convenience so we can progress arrangements for the day.

Attendees are requested to use public transport (recommend ferry from Circular Quay) to make way to Watsons Bay. WATSON has arranged for minibus transport to / from the wharf. A very limited number of carpark spaces are available for members with mobility limitations. Please contact the Secretary directly if you desire using your own car. The Secretary will pass attendee details and those needing minibus transport to WATSON so we make sure all are accommodated.

NWOA Secretary
