Wulguru is a suburb of Townsville, Queensland.

At the corner of Diamantina St and Stuart Drive (road to Charters Towers) is a large block of land at the base of Mount Stuart (opposite the Wendal Shopping Centre). During World War II, this was the site of No. 3 Fighter Sector RAAF including bunkers.3 Fighter Sector Headquarters comprised 32 rooms in the large rectangular concrete building with caneite partitions forming various passageways. The building still stands today and is 60 ft X 42 ft. The mezzanine floor has long since disappeared.

The bunker structure is apparently classified in the Heritage register (ref: 601708) and encompasses the boundary of Diamantina Street, Stuart Drive and Hill Street, Wulguru.
