Quick Visit To Godfrey Creek Lookout

October 6, 2020 by Jade Craven

We stopped briefly at this lookout on the way to Apollo Bay. We had no idea about it’s significance; we just needed somewhere to rest for a few minutes

The area near the car park contains a grave site. According to Monument Australia, it is a false grave that

commemorates those from the barquentine “Chittoor” who were drowned in three separate accidents during salvage operations on the barque “W. B. Godfrey” which was wrecked here on 8 March 1891. Those who died were R. Pleace and J.McIntyre on 18 April 1891, C. Boutler on 18 June 1891 and Captain T. Gortley and Seaman V. Godfrey on 8 October 1891.

We are planning to return later to properly explore the beach.
