Klondyke Range Complex

Klondyke Range Complex

The Klondyke Range Complex, located on Klondyke Station in rural New South Wales, is owned and operated by Lightforce Group’s Paroo Pastoral Company.

This licensed testing and firing range was originally devloped for Force Ordnance produce research, development and testing of a variety of firearms and related products.

The range facility has been recently expanded to assist Australian sovereign capability. The range is available to, and has been used by, the Australian Defence Force and many private Australian companies to support Australian military capability.

In 2021, to assist in the increased demand by Australian companies involved in defence contracts and Australian Defence Force product development, Lightforce Group gained approval to expand the range complex.
