About this site
Elsa's Reef lies along the Victorian coast in southern Australia, in the waters near Victoria's cool-temperate coastline south of Melbourne. Reefs in this part of the Southern Ocean and Bass Strait region are shaped by surge and swell rather than the coral reef systems found further north.
