Fort Pearce was established in 1911 and designed to take advantage of the six inch Mark V11 guns being introduced to coastal defence at that time. The Pearce Barracks site is where many of the army personnel stationed at Point Nepean lived. Explore the lookouts from the fortifications with stunning views of Bass Strait. Eagles Nest was the site of Australia’s largest 'Disappearing Gun'. Car parking is available at the Quarantine Station or Gunners Cottage (cars are not permitted past this point).
