very beautiful place...
Fort Lytton located on the southern bank, near the mouth of the Brisbane River, was built in the 1800's as a defence against the perceived Russian threat. It was mostly completed by 1881.
It was used during World War 2 as Brisbane's second line of defence behind the forts on Moreton Island (Fort Cowan and Fort Rous) and Bribie Island. The old "disappearing guns" at Fort Lytton were replaced by a six pounder twin quick-firing gun and a 4.7 QF gun.
