Activity itinerary

Fort Nepean
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
The 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. Get up close and personal exploring the fort!
Quarantine Station
  • 30m
The 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
  • 20m
Cheviot Beach is a beautiful beach located on the Portsea back beach. The beach is known for its white sand, clear waters, and dramatic cliffs. 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
  • 30m
Fort Pearce was built in 1911 as part of a series of fortifications to protect Melbourne from attack. The fort was located on a hill overlooking Port Phillip Bay, making it a strategic location. The fort had two gun emplacements, an ammunition store, and an observation post. 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. The fort's observation post had a 360-degree view of Port Phillip Bay.
Point Nepean National Park
  • 45m
Explore the Coles Track which is an abandoned telegraph line trail running along the beach. We stop at various locations, such as the Gunners Cottage, The Cattle Jetty, Observation Point and More!
Point Nepean National Park
  • 15m
The Medical Superintendent's Building was built in 1899 as the home of the Medical Superintendent of the Point Nepean Quarantine Station. The building is a single-storey, timber-framed structure with a verandah on three sides. The building has a distinctive Queen Anne style, with a steeply pitched roof and decorative gables. The building was designed by the Victorian Government Architect, William Wardell. The building was used by the Medical Superintendent until the quarantine station closed in 1984.
