Bribie Island Second World War Fortifications, Military fortifications at Woorim, Australia.

The concrete structures along the northern beaches include gun emplacements, searchlight buildings, and observation posts designed for coastal defense operations.

Built between 1939 and 1943, these fortifications served as a crucial military installation for monitoring ship movements between Bribie and Moreton Islands.

The fortifications stand as a testament to Queensland's military heritage, leading to their inclusion in the Queensland Heritage Register in 1993.

Visitors need a 4WD vehicle permit to access the northern fortification sites, and climbing on the structures is prohibited due to safety concerns.

The fort contained two six-inch guns from World War I, relocated specifically to establish artillery capabilities on this strategic coastal position.
