Tankerton: Corinella Boat Ramp - Peters Street - Western Port Bay
Corinella Boat Ramp occupies a low shoreline on the eastern shore of Western Port in Victoria. This broad tidal bay is framed by the Mornington Peninsula to the west and Phillip Island to the south, with French Island lying offshore. Peters Street leads to a working foreshore for launching vessels, where jetties and open water underline Corinella’s role in local boating and fishing. The town stands near the site of a British military settlement founded in 1826 and abandoned two years later, a brief early colonial episode in Western Port. Its waterfront remains an access point to one of Victoria’s major embayments, where extensive tidal flats shape the coast.

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.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. 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.
