Point Nepean Road
The road back to the Quarantine Station from Fort Nepean, right on the tip of Point Nepean. On the left are the calm waters of Nepean Bay in Port Phillip Bay. On the right is Bass Strait, with the waves breaking on the Petriana Reef. It’s lovely on a day like this, but I’m not sure I would want to be here on a stormy moonless night in the middle of winter.
