Explore Point Nepean National Park!
Within the park you’ll ride to many historic sites. First stop is the old Quarantine Station – A site with buildings dating back to the mid-19th Century. You’ll then move towards the historic Cattle Jetty, Pearce Barracks and Eagles Nest.
Next you’ll ride out to Fort Nepean, located at the end of the Mornington Peninsula. Fort Nepean helped make Melbourne, Australia’s most well-defended city.
You’ll be able to hop off your bikes and explore the vast tunnels of the fortress that were used during the first and second World Wars. Not to mention the breathtaking lookout points where Bass Strait meets Port Phillip Bay.
After a short stop, you can ride the bikes to head home via Cheviot Hill, the mysterious beach where the Prime Minister Harold Holt vanished in 1967.
Wildlife is also a pleasant highlight of the National Park – lucky cyclists may spot Bottlenose Dolphins frolicking in the water; Australian Fur Seals playing out on rock formations, Echidnas can be spotted along Coles Track, Rosellas give the sky a dash of colour around the Quarantine station and much more.
