There will be increased military activity during the final week of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025.
Australia has been hosting the largest-ever Exercise Talisman Sabre since July 13 until August 3, with more 40,000 military personnel from 19 nations participating in activities across Australia and Papua New Guinea.
As the Australian-based activities wrap up, there will be an increased presence of Australian Defence Force and participating nations’ personnel, equipment and vehicles transiting through communities from 26 July to 2 August.
Communities can expect to see an increased number of Defence vehicles on the road over this period, including Rockhampton, Gin Gin, Charters Towers, Ingham and Sarina.
Motorists and pedestrians are urged to be aware of these activities and exercise patience and vigilance on the road to make sure everyone gets home safely.
