Fort Queenscliff dates back to 1860 when an open battery was constructed on Shortland’s Bluff to defend the entrance to Port Phillip Bay.
Surrounded by stunning views and underground magazines for you to explore, the Fort became the headquarters for an extensive chain of forts around Port Phillip Heads. Today, it is one of the largest and best-preserved forts in the country. Our Dress up’s are back and a great photo opportunity for families and children.
