Journey to the historical Oliver Hill Guns and Tunnel Fortification on board
the unique 64-seat Captain Hussey trolley train. This tour begins with an
informative train ride passing some iconic and historical landmarks on the
island.

Upon arriving at Oliver Hill, be taken on a guided tour through the stunning
tunnel system that once played a crucial role in Australia’s military defence
in World War II.

The area is still preserved with Rottnest's WWII guns and tunnels, which
commemorate its military history and our soldiers who fought to defend the
shores of Western Australia.

Rottnest Island was a key part of the Western Australian defence during WWII.
The island was home to intricate secret tunnels and housed 9.2" guns to
protect against invading Axis forces.

Post-war, the 9.2-inch battery on the island was saved from disposal due to
the high cost of removal and shipping the guns to the mainland. This led to
the preservation of the military artefacts. Now, this equipment provides a
look at the rich history of the Western Australia defence force and attracts
many visitors to the area every year.
