This aerial footage of the Mornington Peninsula, at the mouth of Port Phillip Bay from Portsea to Sorrento, illustrates what a wild piece of coastline it is. The bay side is relatively gentle and protected but Cheviot Beach, where Holt disappeared, is on the ocean side and exposed to the elements. Crashing waves break onto reefs and rocky outcrops.

This is silent, unedited broadcast footage from the Nine Network.
