Itinerary
Fort Nepean
45 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedThe original name of Point Nepean was Boona-djalang, which means 'kangaroo-hide' in the Bunurung language. The first European to see Point Nepean was George Bass in 1797. In 1877, the Victorian government decided to build a series of fortifications to protect Melbourne from attack. Point Nepean was chosen as a strategic location because it controls the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. Construction of Fort Nepean began in 1882 and was completed in 1886. The fort had a number of gun batteries, barracks, tunnels, and other military buildings. Fort Nepean was never attacked, but it did play a role in World War I and World War II. The first shot of the British Empire in World War I and the first Australian shot of World War II were fired from Fort Nepean. The fort was decommissioned in 1945 and is now part of Point Nepean National Park. It is a popular tourist destination and offers a variety of historical and natural attractions.

30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Point Nepean Quarantine Station was established in 1852 to protect the people of Victoria from infectious diseases. The station was located on a remote peninsula at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, making it difficult for diseases to spread to the mainland. The station was used to quarantine immigrants, sailors, and other people who may have been exposed to diseases. The station had a number of buildings, including a hospital, a laundry, and a kitchen. The station was also home to a number of gardens, which were used to grow food for the patients. The Point Nepean Quarantine Station was closed in 1984. The station was originally called the Point Nepean Immigration Depot. The first person to be quarantined at the station was a sailor who arrived from China in 1852. The station was used to quarantine people during a number of epidemics, including the 1854 cholera epidemic and the 1919 Spanish flu pandemic.Portsea Back Beach

The beach is also a popular spot for fishing, surfing, and swimming. The history of Cheviot Beach dates back to the 1800s, when it was used by sealers and whalers. In the early 1900s, the beach became a popular tourist destination. During World War II, the beach was used as a military base. After the war, the beach was returned to the public and has been a popular recreation spot ever since. Its the site of the disappearance of former Australian Prime Minister, Harold Holt.Fort Pearce

The guns at Fort Pearce were capable of firing shells up to 12 miles away. The fort was manned by a garrison of up to 200 soldiers. Fort Pearce was never attacked, but it did play a role in World War II. The fort was used as a training base for Australian troops. Fort Pearce was decommissioned in 1945 and is now part of Point Nepean National Park. The fort was named after Colonel William Pearce, who was the Chief Engineer of Victoria at the time. The guns at Fort Pearce were originally designed for the British battleship HMS Dreadnought. The fort's ammunition store was designed to withstand a direct hit from a 15-inch shell.
