Jezzine Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

Jezzine Fort, or the Kissing Point Fortification, or Jezzine Barracks, is a 15-hectare military outpost overlooking the ocean. It was built in the 1880s, used throughout World War II, and is now decommissioned and an Army Museum of North Queensland and restored barracks and cannons. The site honours the traditional owners, the Wulgurukaba people, with a dedicated ethno-botanical track and artwork. The grounds are always open, and the museum is open Friday, Sunday and Wednesday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and closed every other day.
