History of Bottom Lake & Goodwin Sands

Goodwin Sands were once pounded by the hooves of horses ridden by stockmen trying to reach the eastern shore of Mallacoota Inlet, where the original township stood. It now plays host to scores of water birds which provide a visual treat for people passing by in their boats. The Allan Head/Cemetery Bight area is a very popular choice for boating and recreation, including water-skiing. It offers shady picnic and barbeque spots, safe swimming in the lake and short strolls through the

wooded shoreline. There is also the chance to catch up on some local history by visiting the pioneer grave site at Cemetery Bight, or the nearby remnants of the Spotted Dog Gold Mine, which earned its name after a spotted dog was killed by a falling tree.The discovery and extraction of gold caused a mini gold rush and 50 claims were made in the Mallacoota district. The Spotted Dog was the only successful one. Allan Head is a small hill consisting of sandstone and siltstone rocks, the same type as those at Quarry Beach. At one point in time water separated it from the shoreline, but later it was tied after sand deposition filled the gap. Towards the township, the John Bull beacon(now dismantled) pointed the way to a well marked channel which leads to the main wharf and on towards the "bar" entrance. This ocean outlet is renowned as a photographer's and painter's delight.

The Bottom Lake is a very safe place for sailing. kayaking, canoeing and windsurfing. From the late summer onwards prawning is one of the favourite activities of visitors and locals. Whenever the nights are dark the lake is full of twinkling lights as everyone, manned with all the necessary equipment, spends hours wading through shallow waters in search of the elusive prawn. When the catch is complete, much time is spent cooking the prawns, which are either eaten immediately, or frozen for future enjoyment.

                                 Mallacoota, by Ted Harrington

To the shores of Mallacoota,

Feeling heartsick and depressed,

From the tumult of the city,

I arrived a stranger guest,

Kindly hearts were there to greet me,

Friendly voices welcomed me;

In the house above the inlet,

Looking o’er the sunlit sea.

On the shores of Mallacoota,

Where the billows shoreward roll,

I have found a balm and solace,

For my overburdened soul,

For the glory of the morning,

And the splendor of the eve,

Has enchanted me and chained me,

And has made me loath to leave.

Mallacoota in the limelight,

Has a glory all its own;

When the mighty sea is muttering,

In a muffled undertone.

And when the rain is on the waters,

And the heavens give no light,

Then the light of mighty Gabo,

Like a great sword cleaves the night.

I have always loved the forest,

I have always loved the sea;

Now here in Mallacoota

Both my loves seem close to me.

I can feel their mighty pulses,

I can hear their great hearts beat,

With the forest close behind me

And the ocean at my feet.

We are all a part of nature,

Part of what we feel and see;

And I feel that Mallacoota,

Has become a part of me.

And wherever I may wander

Or whatever beacons burn,

To the shores of Mallacoota
