The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, located at the southern tip of Western Australia near Augusta, is a historic and iconic landmark that marks the meeting point of the Indian and Southern Oceans. As the tallest mainland lighthouse in Australia, it offers a fascinating blend of maritime history and stunning natural scenery. Guided Tours: Learn about the history and operation of the lighthouse through engaging guided tours. Visitors can climb to the top for breathtaking 360-degree views of the oceans and rugged coastline. Panoramic Views: The view from the top is unparalleled, offering a unique perspective of the vast oceans converging and the dramatic surrounding landscape. Climbing the lighthouse involves steep stairs, which might not be accessible for everyone. Strong winds at the top can make it chilly—dress warmly. Entry and tour fees may feel a bit steep for budget travelers.

What a cool place. For someone that's afraid of heights... I did well! Don't worry.. they don't make you go up all the stairs at once... lol you stop like 3 levels up and have a breather... The guides are awesome, and apparently, it's more exciting on a very windy day .. really loved to see where 2 oceans meet

Was a brilliant experience, got to walk around the top of the lighthouse and the information is really interesting. If you make the effort to get there you should do the tour up the lighthouse. We prebooked through the Cape Foundation, which I highly recommend, then also booked a cave tour in the arvo. You can make a great day of it in that area. Don't forget to stop in at the calcified water wheel.next to the lighthouse car park. Some.great photo ops of the coast.

If your anywhere in proximity to Augusta do yourself a favour and factor in a couple of hours to visit the Cape Leeuwin Light House. Pay the extra $$ for the guided tour to go to the top of the lighthouse for the info and the view. The interpretive centre in one of the old light house keepers residences was an unexpected surprise full of information and really well done with some hands on activities. We had a full sun day with very little wind being a rarity according to staff. There is a cafe that does good coffee and some basic food with a nice little gift shop. Recommend a nearby.
