(500)
Portsea Hole is about 500m from the Portsea Pier and is a remnant of the old Yarra River. The top of the hole is at 14m and to the north there is a vertical wall approximately 75m(250ft) long which drops to sand at 27m (90ft), then into a sand bowl which bottoms at 33m(110ft).
The wall comprises small overhangs which are home to a vast array of invertebrates and fish, in particular the beautiful Blue Devil fish.
