Discover the hidden wartime history of Rottnest Island on this 2-hour guided tour of the Oliver Hill Guns and Tunnel fortification. Your journey begins at the Rottnest Island Settlement Train Station, where a unique train ride carries you up to Oliver Hill Lookout, with fantastic views over the island's coastline. At the top, your guide leads you around the massive 9.2-inch guns and through the tunnel network, explaining how Rottnest Island played an integral role in defending the coast of Perth during World War II. The tour starts on Rottnest Island, so you need to arrange your own ferry to the island before the departure time. It is a physically demanding experience, with about 700 metres of walking and more than 240 uneven steps, roughly the same as an eight-storey climb, and there are no rest stops and no backtracking once you are inside the tunnels. Comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen are recommended. With a scenic train ride, sweeping lookout views and fascinating military history, it is a memorable addition to any day on Rottnest Island.
