Our Story
Imagine a gallery devoted to cartoons and all things cartooning. The National Cartoon Gallery @The Bunker, Coffs Harbour is just such a place. Its aim is to promote the art of cartooning, and exhibit and preserve Australia's cartooning history for future generations.
Built in 1943 during the second world war, the underground bunker was the Base Operations Unit No.12. It housed the RAAF's communication equipment, necessary to help protect the nation.
Today, the Bunker is the custodian of the Coffs Cartoon Collection, with well over 23,000 cartoons from leading Australian and international cartoonists. Its role, although different from its wartime past, is still one of communicator and protector of Australia’s history, albeit in satirical form.
In 1995, Coffs City Rotary Club formed the Bunker Cartoon Gallery Inc. (BCGI) and raised over $350,000 via grants and the support of the local community to restore the derelict bunker building. The doors officially opened as Australia’s first and only cartoon gallery on 24 August 1996.
The BCGI continues to run the National Cartoon Gallery today. It is a not-for-profit, registered charity with charitable gift recipient status granted by the Taxation office.
The Bunker has been the recipient of many awards, including the distinguished Stanley Award presented by the Australian Cartoonists Association (ACA) for outstanding contribution to cartooning and North Coast NSW Tourism Awards for Heritage and Culture.
The Gallery boasts a great team of volunteers who play an important part in the daily running of the Gallery and ensuring its future.
