16 - Oliver Hill Battery - District Gunner No.1 Cottage

District Gunner No.1 Cottage

Similar in design to the District Gunner's No.2 Cottage, located approximately 197m north-west from the No.1 Cottage, it faced Salmon Bay in close proximity to the rail line.

​

Whilst the cottage has since been demolished, the rail line is currently being used to transport island visitors from the Rottnest Island Train Station to the Oliver Hill Battery.

​

It was originally built as married quarters for the Master Gunner and his family but later repurposed as a wireless station by the Signals upon civilians being ordered off the island.
