Notes on the geology of Wineglass Bay

During a recent visit to Wineglass Bay I was enabled to make a cursory examination of the neighbourhood, and, as the locality has not been described in any detail, a few notes may be useful as a guide to future workers.
Wineglass or Thouin Bay is situated on the eastern side of the isthmus joining Freycinet Peninsula to Schouten Main, which, together with Schouten Island, form the eastern boundary of Oyster or Fleurieu Bay. The whole consists of a magnificent series of granite peaks, extending for 12 miles in a north and south direction, the highest Mount Freycinet, rising to the height of 2,014ft. above the sea. This granite occurs in a meridional line, extending from Flinders Island to the Hippolyte Rocks, off Tasman Peninsula, and is contemporaneous with the granite massils of the West Coast. It is to be found penetrating all rocks earlier than the Permo-Carboniferous, but has not been seen intrusive in strata of a later age.
