Who we are
Our roots go back to 1990, when seven Vietnam veterans formed the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club in Queensland. A northern branch followed in 1994 and the Townsville Chapter in 2003, and in 2012 the club opened its doors to veterans from every conflict since Vietnam.
The Townsville Chapter closed in July 2023. The mates who stayed became Townsville Veterans Australia: no longer a motorcycle club, with fewer rules, but with the same purpose - veterans supporting veterans.
