Feature type: Beach

Origin

This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer.

Narrative

A beach of shingle and sand on the south coast of Heard Island. The name may be a descriptive one but Captain Thomas Long of the New London sealer Charles Carroll reported land south of Kerguelen in 1849. In the absence of evidence of his active connection with the exploration of the Island, it would seem unlikely that his name is used here.
