Kissing Point Fort was built on the headland of Townsville to help protect the harbour. It had a bunker system, gun placements and canons strategically located in this elevated position.
This area is a significant site for both the Australian military and local Aboriginal People, and is now open to the public featuring coastal boardwalks, artwork, traditional plantings and park lands.
Kissing Point has a number of interpretive signs alongside pieces of equipment explaining the significant elements of the Kissing Point Fort complex. Very interesting and well worth a visit.
