Kissing Point Fortification, Military fortification in North Ward, Townsville, Australia.

Kissing Point Fortification is a military fort located on coastal land in North Ward that spreads across a large area. The site contains two gun positions, an underground storage area for ammunition, and elevated observation points connected by sunken pathways.

Built in 1891 as a two-gun battery, Kissing Point Fortification was designed by Peter Scratchley and Major Edward Druitt as part of Queensland's coastal defence scheme, which also included Fort Lytton and Green Hill Fort. The adjacent Jezzine Barracks grew around it, hosting annual encampments of the Kennedy Regiment from 1889. The site remained an active army base until 2007 and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 5 February 2010.

The name Jezzine Barracks recalls the Battle of Jezzine in Syria in 1941, in which the 2/31st Battalion fought. The 31st Royal Queensland Regiment precinct now holds the Army Museum of North Queensland, and Jezzine House remains Australian Government property. The heritage boundary covers the fortification structures and earthworks, five P1 huts from World War II, and the parade ground at the formal entrance.

The site sits on a rocky headland at the northern end of The Strand, with the former barracks grounds bounded by Cook, Isley, Mitchell and Howitt Streets. The Army Museum of North Queensland occupies the 31st Royal Queensland Regiment precinct, while Jezzine House remains Australian Government property; the rest of the headland is held by the Townsville City Council as trustee. Expect uneven ground around the 1891 earthworks and the World War II P1 huts.

The heritage boundary covers only the fortification structures and earthworks, five P1 huts erected during World War II, and the parade ground at the formal entrance. The rest of the 10-hectare Jezzine Barracks site passed to the Townsville City Council as trustee after the army closed it in 2007.
