Location: | Somers – 448510. South of the jetty at Stony Point. | |
Access: | Stony Point Road. | |
Ownership: | Crown Land and Commonwealth Government land (RAN Flinders Naval Depot). | |
Geology/Geomorphology: | Ferruginous sandstones of the Baxter Formation are exposed on the coast near the boat launching ramp at Stony Point and in road cuts and a small quarry into the face of the coastal bluff inside the Naval Depot. The mangrove fringe south of Stony Point on the northern side of Hanns Inlet is discontinuous as the growth has been affected by sand washed north from Sandy Point. | |
Significance: | Local. The site is of minor importance to display Baxter Formation and the impact of sand deposition on Mangrove regeneration. | |
Management: | Class 3. No restriction on future land use at the site is necessary because of its limited significance. |
