We did the Heritage Park walk recently. Bill was in his element. He loves all things military. Especially World War II.
Port Kembla Heritage Park is located adjacent to the Eastern breakwater of Port Kembla.
The site contains the 1890s steam crane used in the construction of the breakwater, the former Pilots Station, Aboriginal middens, the Breakwater Battery Museum and World War II gun emplacements and artefacts.
Breakwater Battery, was a coastal defence battery at Port Kembla, New South Wales, Australia during World War II.
The battery and observation post were built in 1939 and were the key structures of the command centre for Fortress Kembla, providing protection for Port Kembla from enemy shipping and submarines.
The observation post is now home to the Breakwater Battery Museum.
The Breakwater Battery Military Museum was established in 1988 to showcase the important military history of the region.
Open 10am-2pm on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. Entry fees are $3 for adults, $1 for Pensioners & children under 15 years of age. Groups tours are available by appointment.
