Kangaroo Bluff

About This Attraction

Kangaroo Bluff Historic Site at Bellerive is a gun emplacement and fort built in 1880. In 1873, someone thought they spotted two Russian warships on the River Derwent. The gun emplacement and fort were built in 1880 as a result. The battery guns were never fired in anger and today the site has been preserved as much for its picturesque location as its historic significance.
