Climb mainland Australia's tallest lighthouse and spot the meeting point of the Indian and Southern Oceans at the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. Visitors can experience for themselves this rugged coastline by exploring the Lighthouse grounds, understand the history of the Lighthouse in the musuem or climb the tower itself for stunning views.
Known for its treacherous reefs, rocks and weather, Cape Leeuwin is regarded by mariners as one of the most dangerous coastlines in the world.
The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was built in 1895 to safely guide ships travelling to Australia's eastern ports. By 1896 the lighthouse was fully operational and today it still features the original lens that shines a light with the intensity of a million candles.
Also onsite is a superb glass walled cafe to soak up the views.
