Point Danger (Portland)

Point Danger is a headland on the coast of south-western Victoria, Australia.

[1] Established in October 1996, it is Australia's only mainland gannet colony; all others are on islands.

However, in the first year of its existence no chicks were produced because of human disturbance and predation by foxes and feral cats.

The gannets have subsequently been protected both by limiting public access to a viewing site overlooking the colony and by the presence of two Maremma Sheepdogs to deter predators.
