Breakwater Battery Museum Information
Port Kembla Port Corporation revised its operating practices in 2001 leaving the Pilots Station as a back up facility.
This provided the opportunity and impetus for establishment of the Port Kembla Heritage Park and an interpretive centre within the building.
Port Kembla Heritage Park is located adjacent to the Eastern breakwater of Port Kembla harbour with views over the Five Islands to the east and the harbour, industry and the escarpment to the west.
The site contains Aboriginal middens, World War II gun emplacements and artefacts, the Breakwater Battery Museum, the 1890's steam crane used in the construction of the breakwater and the former Pilots Station.
The site including the Breakwater Battery Museum and the Aboriginal middens is now listed as part of the Hill 60 heritage area covered by a Wollongong City Council Conservation Management Plan.
The Breakwater Battery Museum is open 10am to 2pm on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month
