    Guns on display just outside Ft. Queenscliff, which was developed between 1850 and 1880.
    Ships fixing their position in relation to the first two lighthouses can navigate The Rip. Between those lighthouses was built Fort Queenscliff, one of a defensive network of armed stations guarding the entrance to Port Phillip.
    During the 1880s Queenscliff was the most fortified port in the Southern Hemisphere.

    OK, I know... not the most ladylike position...
    Never did learn to ride side saddle... ha,ha...

    Actually, this was an interesting place to visit, lots of history about Ft. Queenscliff. There is also a museum here, which tells about the past of this region.

    On Good Friday, Queenscliff held a Seafood Festival on the foreshore.
    It was in aid of The Children's Hospital Appeal, so a lot of people turned up for the outdoor event.
    They had great music all day, from classic rock, blues, pop... oldies..
    A very enjoyable day..

    A vehicle and passenger ferry operates between Queenscliff and Sorrento taking approximately 35 minutes.
    The Ferry runs daily (every hour) in all weather, and is a beautiful scenic trip across Port Phillip Bay.
    A group of us enjoyed this trip about a week ago, and on the return trip, we saw seals not too far from the ferry. One of the seals was quite comical, as he appeared to be laying on his back, with one flipper held high, as though he was waving.. ;-)

    Bookings are not required but it is advisable to be at the ferry terminal 15 minutes prior to departure.

  • If you are lucky enough to find some summer when down this way a swim in the beach is a fun thing to do.

    There are BBQ's along the foreshore.

    If you are looking for a surf beach , head out of Queenscliff and take the Point Lonsdale Road. Follow the road around the foreshore and then into Ocean St......there are tracks that will take you down to the beach.

    Queenscliff has some amazing old building. It's a lovely little village to walk around.

    A good way to get the history is to do a heritage Walk. These are run at 2.00pm Saturdays. They take about 1 1/4 hours to do.
    Bookings are essential
    If you can't do a tour there is a self guided booklet that you can buy. This takes about 45 minutes and you follow the brass discs and markers.
