Warneet

Situated on the foreshore of Western Port Bay near Tooradin, 56 km south-east of central Melbourne, this small township is a popular spot for fishing and boating. Warneet (formerly known as Crouch's Beach) is an Aboriginal name meaning 'river'. Les Crouch, owner of the Motor Spares parts business in Melbourne, cut a track through to the foreshore in the 1920s after sighting a patch of white sand whilst fishing in Western Port Bay.
