Fort Lytton

This article is about the historic military fort. For the national park that contains the fort, see Fort Lytton National Park.

The fort consists of almost a hectare of buildings, gunpits, tunnels and other structures embedded in a pentagonal earth mound wall, surrounded by a water-filled moat.

Fort Lytton is a heritage-listed 19th century coastal fort in the suburb of Lytton in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The name “Fort Lytton” is also used to describe the 1 square mile (2.6 km2) military base that surrounded the fort. Fort Lytton was built in 1880–1882, and operated until 1965. The historic fort is now contained in Fort Lytton National Park. The park is open to the public on most Sundays and public holidays. Guided tours are provided by Fort Lytton Historical Association, a non-profit volunteer organisation.[1]
