Elizabeth Island (Victoria)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth Island lies just south of French Island in Western Port, Victoria, south-eastern Australia. It is separated from French Island by intertidal mudflats and a small channel. It is 65 hectares (160 acres) in area and is an unincorporated area[citation needed] of Victoria. It is a privately owned island once used for farming which has been converted into a holiday retreat, with the establishment of housing facilities.
[edit] History
The island bears the remnants of a shipwreck on its western beach, believed to be a tugboat. A former owner crashed his airplane on French Island attempting to view Elizabeth Island, having recently purchased it in a bar.
