Flinders Pier
Location |
Flinders Pier |
Depth |
4 to 6 meters |
Entry |
A giant stride from the first boat landing on the pier or a beach
entry and exit can be made. Good ladders drop down under the water
level from the pier in a few places to assist your exit. |
Bottom |
All around is sea grass as shown in the picture below. The growth
is different from Port Phillip Bay which makes for a change. |
Life |
Squid, old wife, octopus, hermit crabs, leather jackets, cow fish,
plus more. Lots of weedy sea dragons are found here. |
Comments |
Lots of grass to either side of the pier which covers the entire
bay, directly under the pier the bottom is mostly sand with not many
rocks. However there's a large engine block, dredge bucket and lots
of junk to look at all under the pier. 50 meters past the end of the
pier and a few meters ever so slightly to the right is a broken up
wreck which is worth a look however it is broken up and only rises
1m above the sand. |
Parking |
Plenty of ticket parking which is around 60m from the start of
the pier, you then have a 50 meter walk to the entry point in the
pier. |
Small Leather Jackets bite the pier pilons to prevent the current from
sweeping them away.
More growth on the pier..
Growth on the inside of the dredge bucket roof.
