It feels otherworldly in the dark tunnels. As the guide narrates you through the events of the past, it’s almost like they’re unfolding outside. Oliver Hill was the guardian of Fremantle Port, with powerful gun batteries ready to engage any approaching enemy ships. A coastal defence system with a network of railway lines and paths, and a steadfast team keeping the guns ready for action.
Oliver Hill is the only intact emplacement of its type left in Australia - a truly unique place for students to touch fragments of history and engage with these stories on a deeper level.
