Ahh i fucking love fort Nepean. Fun fact: first allied shots of both world wars were fired from down there
Controversial
That link literally says people who think the wwi shot was fired from queenscliff are wrong
Yeah but we called it. Point Nepean missed though not our fault.
Yeah the command and barracks were (and still are) in Queenscliff, who the fuck would want to live on point nepean. There's a reason they put the quarantine station out there.
