Fort Pearce

Fort Pearce is a former defensive facility occupying part of Point Nepean, Victoria, Australia.

It was part of a network of fortifications, commanded from Fort Queenscliff, protecting the narrow entrance to Port Phillip.

[3] Additional huts, a fuel store and a larger ablutions block were constructed at Pearce Barracks in 1939–1940.

Machine gun and mortar pits were dug into the sand dunes around the fort and manned throughout the war by the 2nd Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps.

Parks Victoria removed asbestos buildings from the barracks in 2007 and installed interpretive structures and displays at the site.
