Geocache Description:

Another "Welcome to the Mornington Peninsula" Series of Caches, highlighting all the towns of the Mornington Peninsula.

Hastings is the commercial capital of Western Port and the Peninsula’s major industrial centre.

It overlooks the mangrove-fringed upper reaches of Western Port Bay, with views to French Island and the tiny Sandstone Island. Established during the early 1850s as a fishing and farming community, the industrial development from the

1960s –including Esso and the BHP steel mill –were based on its deep water harbour. The popular foreshore area includes a jetty, cycling and walking tracks, picnic and barbecue facilities, childrens playgrounds and the colourful marina complex. A 3.5km walking trail and boardwalk connects the town to Jacks Beach through an expanse of White Mangrove.
