Perched high upon the hill, this relatively large gunnery bunker faces out towards Bass Strait, enjoying views of the surf from east to west – including the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse – extending further westward all the way through to Cape Otway (on a clear day . . . ).
This gunnery bunker is accompanied by two smaller ones which are perched below, on rocky outcrops, and much closer to the water level. Though the build date is unclear, one could possibly presume that it was constructed around the same time as Eagles Nest ?
