    The World War II gun emplacements on Tomaree Head were constructed in 1941 to defend Australia’s east coast. These reinforced concrete structures once housed large coastal artillery designed to protect Port Stephens and nearby strategic infrastructure. Today, the remains are among the most visible relics of the site, standing as a reminder of its military past.
