McDermott's Secret Beach

Went looking for the first house built on the Bellarine Peninsula in 1849. Coryule was commissioned by Drysdale and Newcomb the pioneering women sheep farmers of the day.  The ride starts out on the most modern streetscape of Curlewis with under ground power and services and construction extending out to the horizon as well as to the water in the other direction. Then it all ends at a straight line with a dirt road extending off. Soon I come to Coryule which is only one large paddock away from being swallowed by housing estates.  And these people want their privacy, as the large picket fence with the very large pointed pickets cuts off the house and the view of it from the road. Further down, the dirt road deteriorates and ends at a high view of a beach. There is a path down to the secluded crunchy beach with a lot of sand and shells.
