  • The Steam Pump House
  • The little known Civil Aviation Terminal
  • Stokes Hill Power Station
  • From Survivors Lookout, a network of walking trails lead down to the World War II oil tunnels.

Special Features

  • An la carte seafood restuarant
  • Drop a line from the fishing platforms - a popular fishing spot, or take a fishing tour
  • Take a harbour cruise that leave from the wharf
  • Relax and enjoy the seasonal live entertainment
