Geocache Description:

Great spot to stretch the legs and get a fantastic ocean view.


Ledge Point's coastline has many shipwrecks, many make great dives and are accessible via boat. The Vergulde Draeck (Gilt Dragon) a Dutch East India Company Ship which struck reef 5.6km south south west from shore on April 28th 1656 while sailing for a trading voyage to Batavia ( now Jakarta) was found over 300 years later on the 14th of April 1963 by a party of divers. In 1951 the JP Webb a steam driven hopper barge ran aground lost on its maiden voyage, en route from England to Melbourne, it lies 1.6km west of Ledge Point at what now is known as Webb Reef. In 1983 the Key Biscayne a 2738 tonne jack up oil rig capsized during a violent storm. At the height of the storm the towlines broke and the rig began to list dangerously. It now lies approx. 19km north west of Ledge Point. These wrecks amongst others are now home to a variety of marine life.
