Eagles Nest
A relatively exposed gun battery with some superb views overlooking the bay entrance. This nest once housed Australia's large hydro-pneumatic gun in Australia and apparently had a firing range of nearly 10km. This gun emplacement was abandoned in 1911, but the concrete structure still remains.

A good place to check out on the walk to Fort Nepean, but not a lot of information available. A beautiful place, be sure to keep your eyes open for wildlife - I spotted a swamp wallaby just off the path.

Best place here so far on the hill with views in every direction ‘also the old gun station you can nearly hear the voices of the doomed in the wind’ the skies are blue you can only imagine what happened here years ago

An excellent place to enjoy the sea view, it is a good place for some rest before continuing the journey to the Fort Nepean/Quarantine Station (on the back journey). This place is also quite close to the Fort Pearce, and it is not a long walk from the Defence Road.

One of the many things to see in Point Nepean National Park. A very interesting peice of history from the world wars. You can stand where the gun used to be and hear your voice echo when you speak!There are beautiful views from here and you can take the longer, scenic route back to the car from the path that leads out from here.

Great view of the sea from here, you can really feel the bone chilling breeze as well.

We stopped at Eagles Nest as part of our National Park walking visit. Access via the sandy walking trail, alternatively, there is a shuttle bus that leaves from the quaratine station carpark. Great views from the small lookout located near the gun placement.
