Fort Lytton National Park, Military museum and national park in Brisbane, Australia

Fort Lytton National Park spans 0.13 square kilometers along the Brisbane River, featuring historic fortifications and military structures from colonial times.

The fort was constructed between 1880 and 1881 to defend Brisbane's port, operating as a military base until the conclusion of World War II.

The military museum contains over 2000 artifacts including weapons, uniforms, wartime diaries, and personal items that document Australian military service.

The park offers free admission, guided tours, and parking every Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with special arrangements required for visits on other days.

The site incorporates a former quarantine station established in 1913, which processed incoming immigrants and individuals with potential health risks until the 1980s.
