This will probably seem a silly question to some, but can anyone tell me what or where is ' Indented Head'? I found it on an entry on the Australas BDM site and am a little confused about it's meaning. I thought at first it may mean a birth defect, but am not so sure now. Appreciate anyone who can clear it up for me.

Indented Head is in the Geelong area and is located on the Bellarine Peninsula near Portarlington.

Hi Folks, Can I just clear up a few of the mistakes relating to "Indented Head", just in case it's passed on to others and leads people astray. Indented Head isn't a "suburb of Geelong" - in fact it's more than 30 Km from Geelong! The town of Indented Head did not exist in the 1800s, although it marks the site of the landing of John Batman and the Port Phillip Association in 1835. In the 1800s, .... Indented Head was the name used for the WHOLE Bellarine Peninsula. Indented Head was the name of the registration district for BDMs for the Bellarine Peninsula. Indented Head was the name of the first "council" - the Indented Head Road Board - which later became the Shire of Bellarine. Hope that helps .................
