Bass Point (Australia)
Headland in New South Wales, Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bass Point[1] is a headland in Australia on the New South Wales south coast.
The point was named by Matthew Flinders around 1800, after his friend and fellow explorer George Bass.[2][page needed]
The waters just off the point are considered a critical habitat for the endangered grey nurse shark, so fishing there is restricted.[3]
Bass Point is also home to renowned big wave surfing spot Redsands, which breaks off a headland at the entrance to Bass Point Reserve.
