Fort Queenscliff

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:31:03

Queensliff's fort was first used as a coastal defence in 1882 to protect Melbourne from a feared Russian invasion. It remained a base until 1946, before being used as the Army Staff College until late 2012; today it functions as the defence archive centre. The 30-minute guided tours take in the military museum, magazine, cells and its twin lighthouses. Bring ID for entry.
