Point Danger (Torquay)
Point Danger is a limestone headland on the coast of south-western Victoria, Australia on the northern side of Bass Strait. It is adjacent to the coastal town of Torquay, separating the town's front and back surfing beaches. It is the site of Torquay's war memorial and a venue for ANZAC Day services.
