Hill 60, Port Kembla, Historic site in Port Kembla, Australia.
Hill 60 rises 71 meters above sea level and contains military defense installations, including gun batteries, tunnels, and former military housing structures.
During World War II, the Illowra Battery was constructed at Hill 60, transforming this Aboriginal site into a strategic military defense position along the coast.
The site contains extensive shell middens and artifact collections that demonstrate the continuous Aboriginal occupation and traditional fishing practices of the area.
Visitors can explore the walking tracks around the military installations and reach the lookout point, which offers views across the Port Kembla region.
The location functioned as a fish-spotting station for an Aboriginal fishing enterprise in the late 1800s, supplying local markets with seafood.
