Geocache Description:

Located at the start of Barry road this area was a hive of activity when the Bass Strait oil rigs were built.

The oil fields in Bass Strait are still active with ocean ships transporting the oil drilled from the still active Exxon-Mobil Marine Terminal at Barry Beach situated in Corner Inlet.The terminus was the southern-most mainland section of Australia linked railway tracks.

The Barry Beach Marine Terminal is the main supply depot for the Bass Strait oil and gas operations. Each year it facilitates the warehousing and transport of thousands of tonnes of food, supplies, fuel and equipment to 23 offshore platforms and installations that serve as bases for drilling, oil and gas production and processing. The 400-metre Barry Beach wharf accommodates a 110-tonne pedestal crane to lift the cargo to and from supply vessels. These contracted vessels are based at Barry Beach Marine Terminal and operate 24 hours a day to service 23 offshore platforms and installations. The vessels are able to operate close to the offshore platforms and move between platforms loading and unloading cargo, even in the stormy conditions of Bass Strait, with the aid of specialised navigational equipment and propulsion systems.
