The Princess Royal Fortress is one of Australia's best outdoor military museums and site of the National ANZAC Centre. Located in the Albany Heritage Park atop Mount Clarence and Mount Adelaide.
The Princess Royal Fortress on the top of Mount Adelaide was built as a result of all the Australian states contributing money and the Imperial British Government providing guns. It was the first federal defense of Australia and it opened in 1893. The National ANZAC Centre is the most recent addition to the Fortress complex and Heritage Park.
