Fort Tomaree Radar Station

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Tomaree Radar Station is a World War II military site located near the summit of Tomaree Head. Built to monitor shipping movements and detect potential enemy vessels or aircraft, the radar installation formed part of Australia’s coastal defence network. These remnants of the concrete structures that remain on the headland are a reflection of the importance of the area’s wartime history.
