Keith Quinton
Keith Quinton spent much of his childhood visiting Swan Island Naval Mine Depot and various “Heads” fortifications, which fostered a keen interest in the warships and military fortifications that guarded Port Phillip during the 19th Century. After briefly studying architecture, Fine Arts and photography he began pursuing a 30 year career teaching, art, photography and graphic design in various Victorian secondary schools. Since 2002 Keith has authored books including ‘Defending Port Phillip’ (2009) and ’Port Phillip Forts’ (2010). He co-authored ‘Shortland’s Bluff Battery’ (2011), and the definitive study – ‘Stop the Pfalz-1914’ (2012). He is currently researching the 1854-1900 Defences of Hobson’s Bay.
