It is believed to be the headland seen by Matthew Flinders from the Investigator during a break in showery weather, on the night of 20 April 1802.

[1] It is notable for the vertical cliffs up to 50 metres high, which in some places overhang, and expose geological structures such as cross bedding, scour and fill channels and variable sizes of concretions.

There is also a sea cave and a massive active landslip, which extends inland for 500 metres.

[5][6] This was probably one of the places occupied by the Ngarowurd gundidj clan identified by George Augustus Robinson’s Gadubanud informants.

The find extended the known period of Aboriginal presence on this part of the Otway coast.
