Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse

This historic lighthouse is the tallest on mainland Australia.
It is situated at the most south-westerly point of Australia, at the tip of a spectacular peninsula where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.

On December 1, 1896, the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was illuminated for the first time.
The light was generated by a kerosene wick lamp, the world’s largest at the time, revolving in a mercury bath and controlled by a clockwork mechanism. With an intensity of 250,000 candelas, it could be seen for 40km.

Skippy Rock is a series of linear granite rocks that form a low islet that is tied to the shore by beaches on Cape Leeuwin
