Range Area Walk (Point Nepean National Park)

This 1.8-kilometre walk links the historic Quarantine Station to Gunners Cottage and meanders through coastal scrub and a former Rifle Range. The Range Area was used to train cadets from the Army Officer Cadet School. They were trained to firing rifles, grenades and machine guns. At about the halfway mark, a short diversion walk takes you to the Monash Light Lookout tower with sweeping views of the park, the peninsula, and northwards across Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne city.

Car parking is available at the Quarantine Station or Gunners Cottage (cars are not permitted past this point).
From Gunners Cottage you can walk to Observatory Point, or continue west towards Cheviot Hill.
