Queenscliff is a historic town on the Bellarine Peninsula in southern
Victoria, Australia, south of Swan Bay at the entrance to Port Phillip.
Originally a
fishing village, Queenscliff soon became an important
cargo port, servicing steamships trading in Port Philip. A shipping pilot service was established in 1841, and its two lighthouses, the High and Low Lights, were constructed in 1862-63.
Queenscliff also played an important military role. Fort Queenscliff was built between 1879 and 1889, and operated as the command centre for a network of forts around the port. Queenscliff became a tourist destination in the late 19th century, visitors arriving from Melbourne after a two-hour journey on the paddle steamer, Ozone.
