During the 19th century Princess Royal Harbour was such a strategic asset that the decision was taken to fortify it to help protect intercontinental trade routes. At the Summit of Mount Adelaide, this fortress was completed in 1893 and remained armed until 1956. The fortress now hosts the National Anzac Centre, but there’s more to take in. You can explore pre-federation heritage buildings and military structures like the underground magazine, caretaker’s cottage, barracks, batteries and repository store, together with collections of artillery and torpedoes. The Ellam-Innes Collection holds a trove of objects relating to the 11th Battalion and 10th Light Horse regiments. In the grounds you’ll get fantastic views of Princess Royal Harbour, Oyster Harbour, Middleton Beach and King George Sound.

A large free site, on the top of Mt Clarence providing amazing views of the surrounds. Easy drive up on sealed roads, with lots of free carparks provided. Site is well maintained & the buildings preserved. The site is on a large site with various buildings, the lookout, gardens, gun placements & bunkers, & navy related items. Various story-boards explain the Fort & WW1 Convoy stories. There is a coffee shop (not open when we visited), & a souvenir shop. Volunteers provide a brief presentation at 10.30 & 2 (check time).

The Princess Royal Forts, opened in 1893, is the site of the first Australian Federal defense post. The original army barracks, both buildings and infrastructure, have been maintained entirely by volunteer endeavours until 2014 when the National ANZAC Centre was built nearby. The barracks house military displays as well as everyday items in situ, depicting life of the servicemen who passed through here to...
