Tankerton: Corinella Boat Ramp - Peters Street - Western Port Bay
Corinella Boat Ramp occupies a low tidal shoreline on the eastern side of Western Port Bay in Victoria. The ramp and long public jetty serve the small coastal settlement of Corinella, providing access for recreational boats to one of southern Australia’s broad tidal embayments. Western Port is divided by French Island and Phillip Island, with extensive mudflats and sheltered waters forming an important part of its character. The bay was named by explorer George Bass after his 1798 voyage along the Victorian coast. Peters Street connects this waterfront facility with Corinella’s compact residential area.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.

The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
