Walking Point Nepean National Park

Information centre at the Quarantine Station amongst the old microcapa trees

Thank you Glenda for mentioning going to this National Park.   Even though we called here, or to the entrance last Saturday afternoon, we still had not realised the history out at Fort Nepean.  WOW!!
We parked at the Quarantine Station and started to have a look around there but was cut short as the bus arrived to take us out to the very end where Fort Nepean is just steeped in history.  We did not know that the first shot fired in anger in WWI was here at this place.  Forts, tunnels, gun emplacements, Harold Holt's Monument where he was presumed drowned, Moonah woodland with sweeping views of Bass Strait and Port Phillip. We decided to walk back to the towards Harold Holt's monument and beach before the bus comes by to pick us up.   Well,  we seemed to be at the wrong place each time she came by so we walked all the way back to the Quarantine Station and finished looking around all the buildings there before we travelled over to take a look at London Bridge.

This is the gun emplacement where the first shot was fired in WWI

Tunnels throughout the Point Housing the amunition 

To the left is Port Phillip Bay and to the right is Bass Strait.  This is the narrowest land between the two expanses of water on the Mornington Peninsula.
