Guichen Bay
Guichen Bay, (French: Baie de Guichen) is a bay located on the south-east coast of South Australia about northwest of Mount Gambier and about south-southeast of Adelaide. It was named in 1802 by the Baudin expedition of 1800-03 after Luc Urbain de Bouëxic, comte de Guichen. The town of Robe is located at the southern end of the bay. ==Extent & description==
Guichen Bay lies between Cape Thomas at its northern extremity and Cape Dombey at its southern extremity on the south-east coast of South Australia. The east side of the bay which runs for a distance of about to the south of Cape Thomas is formed by a sandy beach known as Long Beach. The bay’s south shore of the bay consists of ‘rocky points and sandy bays’ with ‘drying rocks extend a short distance offshore’. Within the bay, the water depth ranges from to over a large part of the bay. A rocky point known as Boatswain Point projects south for a distance of about to the east southeast of Cape Thomas while at the south end of the bay, there is a rocky point known as Robe Point.〔NGA, 2012, page 217〕〔DMH, 1985, chart 5〕〔BIA, 2005, page 181〕 A number of navigation aids are located around Cape Dombey at the bay’s south end. These consist of a lighthouse known as the Robe Lighthouse on Cape Dombey, a flashing light located near Commodore Point on the ocean coastline to the immediate south of Cape Dombey, and two lights within the bay - a light marking the end of the breakwater at the entrance of the Lake Butler marina in Robe and a flashing light near Robe Point. Prior to the erection of the Robe Lighthouse in 1972, the sole navigational aid available for navigating in Robe was a Daymark in the form of an obelisk painted with red and white bands which is known as the Robe Obelisk.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.lighthouses.org.au/lights/SA/Robe/Robe.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.council.robe.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=302 )〕
