Information About

Wedding Cake Island




Wedding Cake Island is an Island off Coogee Beach , Sydney , which protects the beach from most swells. It is also known as '''Lemo's Island'''.

The most probable source of the name is the shape of the island - it resembles a wedding cake. Another theory is that bird droppings on the island gave the appearance of icing on a cake. Apparently the island was also formerly called Gingerbread Island.

In 1975 ''Wedding Cake Island'' was the title of a popular Surf Music instrumental single by Australia n Rock Music band Midnight Oil . The track was re-released in 1980 on the EP '' Bird Noises ''.
