Cape Schanck, revegetated cliff face
Cape Schanck. Previously managed by the former National Parks Service, it is now managed by Parks Victoria. In 1988 it became part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park.
Years ago, people used the self-made tracks that had evolved over many years of use by avid fishermen and keen hikers. However, with increased access by better roads and more people with cars, the area became more popular with tourists. The increased use of the tracks started to create soil erosion, so many paths were subsequenty closed to the public.
