Fort Lytton, Military fortress in Brisbane, Australia.
Fort Lytton features defensive structures with gun emplacements, troop accommodations, and storage facilities positioned at the mouth of the Brisbane River.
The fortification, constructed between 1880 and 1891, protected Brisbane's port from potential naval attacks during heightened regional tensions in the colonial period.
The fort maintains extensive military exhibits, multiple museums, and a collection of Australian artillery that document the defense history of Brisbane.
Visitors can access Fort Lytton every Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with free admission, guided tours, and parking available for all guests.
The fortress integrated a remote-controlled minefield system and four muzzle-loading heavy guns as part of its initial defense infrastructure.
