Point Peron K Battery, World War II artillery battery in Cape Peron, Western Australia.
The battery complex includes two gun emplacements, observation post bunker, operations bunker, and multiple ammunition storage structures at Cape Peron headland.
Constructed in 1943 as part of the Fremantle Fortress defense network, the K Battery operated two 155mm guns to protect shipping lanes approaching from the south.
The artillery site represents military engineering practices of the 1940s through its functional design and construction methods implemented during wartime conditions.
Visitors can access the preserved observation post and northern gun position through designated pathways, while other sections remain closed for safety considerations.
The battery marks the southernmost point of the Fremantle Fortress defense system, with guns capable of firing at an 18-kilometer range across Cockburn Sound.
