Our Story
Point Nepean Experiences is dedicated to providing immersive experiences that explore the rich history and significance of Point Nepean National Park. With a team of passionate local guides, we aim to ensure unforgettable adventures and cultural exploration, helping our guests create lasting memories.
Step beyond the gates and into the past on Quarantined: Stories Behind the Gates — an evocative journey through Point Nepean’s windswept Quarantine Station, where courage, loss, and hope still echo through time. Guided by costumed storytellers, you’ll walk in the footsteps of immigrants from the Ticonderoga, the so-called “plague ship,” and experience their perilous voyage, isolation, and resilience in the face of fear.
This immersive experience reveals the human stories behind Australia’s quarantine, military, and humanitarian past. Along the way, the Boonwurrung connection to Boop Boop-till and the surrounding landscape reminds visitors that this land has always been alive with spirit, story, and renewal.
As the sea breeze carries whispers of the past, visitors are transported into another era — one of bravery and endurance against unimaginable odds. Shadows fall across deserted hospitals, echoing footsteps stir the silence, and the boundary between past and present blurs. Each story unfolds where it once happened, turning history into something you can feel beneath your feet and hear in the wind.
