Bradleys Head Fortification Complex, Military fortification in Sydney Harbour National Park, Australia.
The Bradleys Head Fortification Complex contains gun emplacements, tunnels, and ammunition storage facilities overlooking the strategic entrance to Sydney Harbour.
The site began its military service in 1801 and underwent major expansions between 1870 and 1911 to strengthen Sydney's coastal defense capabilities.
The complex includes memorial trees and the HMAS Sydney I mast, serving as a permanent reminder of Australia's naval contributions during World War I.
The fortification grounds remain open for visitors throughout the year, offering interpretive signs and walking paths that detail the military architectural features.
Underground passages connect various military structures across the complex, forming an intricate network of tunnels designed for wartime operations.
