Princess Royal Fortress, Military museum and heritage site at Mount Clarence, Australia.
The Princess Royal Fortress contains underground bunkers, gun batteries, coastal defenses, and military barracks spread across 11 acres of Mount Adelaide grounds.
Established in 1893, this pre-federation fortress represented the first collaborative defense project among Australian colonies, with Britain providing the artillery equipment.
The National Anzac Centre within the fortress lets visitors follow personal stories of service members through recruitment, training, and wartime experiences.
The fortress includes the Forts Store for military merchandise, Garrison Restaurant, picnic areas, barbecues, and wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the complex.
Two gun batteries carved into Mount Adelaide's hillside housed Mark IV 6-inch British loaded guns, forming Fort Princess Royal and Fort Plantagenet.
