Photograph - Photograph - Battery Point, Portland, c. 1983
Glenelg Shire Council records. Built on land gazetted for defence purposes in the 1840s, Portland Battery was constructed in 1889 to defend Victoria against the feared Russian invasion. Batteries were also constructed at Warrnambool and Port Fairy during this period. The Battery comprises a magazine, upper chamber, a parapet wall, and three gun emplacements. In 1984 the Battery underwent a major restoration. The underground magazine and lamp passage are currently not accessible to the public.Picture of Cannon, Low Moore 68 lb, 1861, Battery Point, South Portland.portland battery, cannon, munition, fortifications, magazine, 1800s -

Photograph - Photograph - Portland Wharf prior to 1890, n.d
Whaler's Bluff lighthouse in Portland was originally located on Battery Point. It was erected there in 1859. In 1889 it was relocated, stone by stone to Whaler's Bluff. The reasoning given was that the space on what is now known as Battery Point was needed for guns and it was also thought that the lighthouse was less open to attack at Whaler's Point.Black and white photo.
