Cape Schanck, Administrative area in Mornington Peninsula, Australia.
Cape Schanck extends to the southernmost point of Mornington Peninsula, separating the waters of Bass Strait from Western Port at latitude -38.46.
Lieutenant James Grant named this location in 1800 after Captain John Schank, who designed the raised keel on the Lady Nelson sailing vessel.
The traditional Boonwurrung people recognized this area as Tunnahan, maintaining a deep connection to the coastal landscape through generations.
