Fort Lytton Historic Military Precinct[1] is the main attraction of Fort Lytton National Park. It is open free from10am to 4pm on most Sundays and public holidays, and for special events.[2] It contains historic Fort Lytton (a colonial coastal defence fort), and numerous other historic military buildings and structures from colonial times to the Second World War. The precinct is at the epicentre of what was once a one square mile (259 ha) defence base[3] strategically located at the mouth of the Brisbane River (the base was also called “Fort Lytton”). In addition to historic buildings and structures, the precinct contains Fort Lytton Military Museum[4] and is the site of regular military re-enactments.[5] The national park is located in the Brisbane suburb of Lytton.
