Pils,

Where abouts? All I could see was a dark stain off the poo farm, no seriously put the mouse on the centre of the island and do a get directions from here and read of the latitude and longitudes so we can have peek too. Or is this a before dawn commando style tiny trip to the secrete spot ferried there blind folded.

Ok, I agree water pretty dark at times at Altona, but where is this spot you're talking about, can't really spot it for sure on google. Lat-Long coords please.

-38,049848-144,519846 try that

Not sure whether that is the right co-ords. Looks like it is in the middle of the South Pacific.

just look for the only islands between point wilson pier and werribee south river you cant miss it.

Pils,

It was a simple mistake of a minus sign instead of what should have been + sign:

-38.049848,144.519846 this works. I also changed the commas into full stops and placed a comma inbetween the latitude (first entry, how close to the equator) and the longitude (second entry, how close to Greenich England).

Interesting Pils. When I first zoomed in I saw those sqaure man made pits and thought are those from the poo farm? But no the Island is SW of the poo farm.

There is a road that goes past the Island a little bit inland and appears to have a branch going off it towards the coast (at -38° 3' 46.01", +144° 30' 56.05"). Bugger, looks like the turn off from Twentynone Mile Road is a private road belonging to a farmer, right the reason for the tiny.

Looking closer 100 m (-38.070299,144.500695) before the farm house there looks like a path way that makes it's way to the waters edge. This might be a goer, hmm landboard along here with kite board strapped to the back pack, then kite surf to the island? Or could just stop at the road side at -38.041387,144.522298 and walk the 350 meters to the waters edge past the old quary (not sure about the last 50 meters as this might be thick scrub? There a lots of tracks around the quary pits, running W-E, perfect on a S wind for landboarding to get to where we need to go.
