Cape Volney, is a prominent headland along the Otways coast. It was named on March 31th, 1802, by François Péron, a naturalist on board the French expedition of the south coast of New Holland, led by Nicolas Baudin in the Géographe. The island off Cape Volney is believed to have been named Isle Latreille by Péron, after Pierre André Latreille, a French zoologist specialising in arthropods. Péron described the Otways coastline as having: “an appearance of a long chain of regular fortifications, or rather something like the gigantic wall which separates China from Tartary”. This double exposure image is an attempt to capture the stillness and rugged beauty of Cape Volney and the Otways coastline.
