So firstly ... where is this? I would follow Metung Road until it's conclusion at Shaving Point Reserve... as you are leaving Shaving Point reserve, there is some car parking on the left about 500 metres after leaving the Reserve... there are bushes and I can't recall seeing any signage from the road indicating this silhouette is there. But park at that parking ... walk to boardwalk, there is an information sign there and you will see it from there. It's easy to walk to, although the path is like most beach paths... au natural- so not sure how easy this would be for mobility aids.
It is less than a minute from the carpark to walk to the silhouette and there are information signs. From here you look at at Boole Poole and there was a family of swans there the day I stopped to have a look.
But about the silhouette? This is a silhouette of the Charles Edward, an iron hulled paddle steamer built in Dumbarton, Scotland in 1864.The placard explains that the "129 foot 185 ton ship, with a 60 hp motor, was built for the Gippsland Steam Navigation Company, later to be named The Gippsland Lakes Navigation Company. Having suitable accommodation in the saloon for passengers, she became the first regular steam ship between Melbourne and the Gippsland Lakes.
I feel it is worth stopping to learn a bit of the history of the area... and to be perfectly honest, it's a beautiful place to spend a few moments at.
