SCHNAPPER POINT, MORNINGTON
Presenting Schnapper Point at Mornington in Melbourne, Australia.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
In 1843, Alexander Beatson Balcombe (founder of The Briars homestead) arrived to what is now the Mornington area and named it Schnapper Point. In 1864, it was renamed Mornington after the Earl of Mornington. Today, only the actual point retains the original name. Two of its main features include a pier, and a monument that marks the 1802 landing of navigator Matthew Flinders. The pier has recently undergone extensive repair and reinforcement and is yet to be complete.

Tucked into the undulating topography that typifies the Mornington Peninsula, where the land transitions from a tertiary dune system into grassy farmland, this architectural award winner is as much a home as an exquisite piece of sculptural land art.

Mornington is a seaside town on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia, located 57 km (35 miles) south of Melbourne's central business district.
Mornington Pier is one of Victoria's oldest and most popular.
The township of Mornington (originally named Schnapper Point) was established in 1854. With inadequate roads to get to the small community, the decision to build the Mornington Pier was made in 1856, with two years for the build. Back in those days, the quickest route from Melbourne to Mornington was across the bay. From 1858, the pier became the social and economic heart of the Mornington Peninsula. Up to fifteen fishing boats with local owners had permanent moorings with other boats regularly transporting mail, fish, timber, firewood and supplies to Mornington. The ferries arrived in 1865, bringing visitors with them twice a week for their summer holidays. Around 1890 a northern arm was added to the Mornington Pier, forming a distinct L-shape, to accommodate the big steamers and paddle wheelers such as the Ozone, Hygeia and Weeroona.

Mornington Storm 2008
In 120 kph winds I struggled to hold my camera still attempting the record the devastating effects of a powerful storm. The location was Mornington Harbour about 60 km South of Melbourne Australia.

Mornington Pier
Mornington Pier seldom has perfect under water visibility. Water is often green and cloudy and with strong winds, rough. Surprisingly too most, it supports a variety of fish species,perhaps more than anywhere else in the bay. Even regular Pier Fisherman are surprised what exist just beneath their feet. Different scenarios can be observed on any day. Its always about being at the right place at the right time.This is a good spot to find seahorses
