Breakwater Battery, Military museum in Port Kembla, New South Wales, Australia.
The Breakwater Battery consists of two 6-inch Mk XI gun emplacements with underground facilities near the southern breakwater at Port Kembla Harbor.
Built in 1939, this coastal defense battery functioned as the command center for Fortress Kembla during World War II to protect against enemy vessels.
The military museum, established in 1988, presents exhibits about local military operations and defense strategies through preserved wartime structures.
Located at 2 Gloucester Boulevard in Port Kembla Heritage Park, the museum is currently closed with no exhibitions available to the public.
The observation post and underground facilities allow visitors to examine authentic World War II military infrastructure in its original coastal setting.
