AUSTRALIA - SEA GLASS HEAVEN!

by Hula Rose
(Australia)

Where are all the Aussie sea glass collectors? Our beaches are a treasure trove of seaglass.

My favourite cove-like beach is covered in millions of pebbles with heaps of fossilized wood,agates and of course SEA GLASS! And only 5 minutes from home!!

Not to mention the 100s of beaches big and small here along the east coast of Australia.

I have never seen anyone collecting sea glass and most people I speak to don't know what it is.

Anyway I'm in heaven!

We agree with you, Hula!

There has got to be hundreds of great sea glass beaches Down Under, with the thousands of miles of coastline and history that you have!

Help Hula out with your contributions.

Any photos, Hula?

Thanks for writing,

David (editor)

 Eyre Peninsula, Australia
by: Amanda

Hi Pauline,I have heard there is some beautiful sea glass down your way (if I have got my geography right!) I do know of a collector who has found some amazing shades of blues in particular. I don't know any exact beaches, only that it is along the Eyre Peninsula. Maybe see if you can find out a little more about the historic seaside towns down that way and if there are any old town dumping grounds near any of the beaches or old pubs near the water. Don't know if it helps at all, but please let us know if you have any luck!! Cheers Amanda

hi I have just discovered sea glass. I cannot keep away from the beach since discovering it. I live in Port Lincoln South Australia. We do not seem to get many colors here mainly brown, dark green and white.

 Sea Glass on the Mornington Peninsula
by: Amanda

Hi, Amanda here! Thanks Hula Rose for your kind comments.

I can definitely recommend the Mornington Peninsula as a great place to look for sea glass.

My family and I have been collecting for awhile on the beaches surrounding Port Phillip Bay. We are very passionate about the Bay and the history of the Peninsula- probably why we love sea glass so much.

We have have a sea glass art and craft website www.morningtonseaglass.com.au.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are coming down this way and we can point you in the right direction!

Kind regards, Amanda

I live in England and will be coming to Perth and Sydney later in the year. Can anyone offer me advice as to the beaches where I can bring home some sea glass souvenirs? Thank you.

 Sea Glass in Australia
by: Paula

You're right, the Aussies didn't know what I was talking about when I said I was going to their beaches to find sea glass.

My daughter lives outside of Melbourne and we have found beautiful, muted colors of sea glass in Sorento.

Also, some small pieces at Brighton Beach, Melbourne area. Hope this helps!

I have brought mine home to enjoy...I live on the East Coast and find most of my sea glass in Maine.

 Sea glass in Melbourne
by: Hula RoseAnonymous

Hi Victoria!

Thanks for your comment. I live in NSW but there is a seaglass collector near Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. Her name is Amanda Hilditch and she has opened up a seaglass business there. Amanda would only be too happy to help you and answer your questions. She is very nice and has a website mermaidseaglass@optusnet.com.au

Happy seaglass hunting! Hula Rose
