IATG invites you to join a Defence of Sydney Tour
About this event
Join us for a guided tour of the underground tunnels and the underground Plotting Room at North Fort, which were part of the defence system of Sydney during WW2. Possibility of having a lunch at Bella Vista, a little café on site, offering majestic views of Sydney Harbour, as well as brilliant food.
Sydney Harbour Trust
The Defence of Sydney Tour is an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the men and women who served at North Fort. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you will marvel at heritage gun emplacements, once capable of firing 26.4km, and descend into the 200-metre-long military tunnel complex. Finally, our guide will demystify an underground bunker once shrouded in secrecy: The Plotting Room. As you explore this facility, concealed within bushland, you’ll hear how our specialist volunteers faithfully restored it.
Tour Conditions
The tour includes paved bush tracks, stairs and approx. 20 minutes in underground tunnels, and another 20 minutes in the underground Plotting Room. Please wear suitable shoes. A good level of fitness and mobility is necessary to enjoy this tour and will be the guide’s decision in his duty of care.

The tour cost is $16 for Professional and $20 for Affiliates. Lunch at Bella Vista café is at your own expense. [No refunds available]
