Tuesday we decided to go for a bit of a walk at Point Nepean National Park.
For many years - up until 1988 this area was used by the army.
We did the Fort Nepean Walk about a 7km return walk
It is described as a flat walk but it isn't really. There are quite a few hilly areas and steps as well. If you are riding a bike the track for cyclists also goes onto the road
There used to be a quarantine there as well
This is the ruins of what was a Cattle Jetty built in 1879Fabulous driftwood on the beach
Old pilon and great rusted bolt
Lizard sunning itself on Coles Track
Love this rusted pole on Coles Track
We walked the length of this area
Eagles Nest - the highest point on the Mornington Peninsula where they built an encasement for hidden arms in 1888 to protect Port Phillip Bay and stop the enemy entering
The entry to Fort Pearce (it is underground)
It was amazing walking through these tunnels and old ruins
This sign shows what Fort Pearce Barracks was like.We also walked as far as you can see in this pic.
Some fun Aussie Slang on a sign in the old fort
PortPhillip Bay on the left and Bass Strait on the right.
Just along here is where the memorial to Prime Minister Harold Holt who drowned on the beach here in 1967
The Memorial Stone placed in memory of Harold Holt
You would wonder how security people would allow a Prime Minister to swim in an area like this
