Location: | 20-508183. One kilometre southwest of Point Sturt. | View Point. Emerged platform or terrace (A). Arrows indicate abandoned gutters at rear of present sea level platform. |
Access: | Great Ocean Road. | |
Ownership: | Crown land. | |
Geomorphology: | The shore platform here has multiple ramparts similar to those at Point Sturt and Wye River (Sites 20.1 and 20.2). The platform is also backed by a terrace of similar form to Point Sturt and clearly displays abandoned platform characteristics (see Site 20.2), including a long narrow gutter (or gulch), potholes and tafoni or cavitation weathering. | |
Significance: | International. The assemblage of features make this a major site to study abandoned shoreline and inter-tidal features. As some doubt is attached to the mechanism of shore platform development, the site assumed great significance as an easily accessible one to observe these processes. |
