Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is a must-visit when exploring Augusta or the Margaret River region. Australia’s tallest mainland lighthouse at the meeting point of the Southern and Indian Oceans.🌊 The views here are truly breathtaking, with rugged cliffs, gusty winds, and the vast ocean stretching endlessly to the horizon. Exploring the lighthouse and its surroundings at our own pace gave us the chance to fully appreciate the beauty and atmosphere of the area. The fresh sea breeze, the sound of crashing waves, and the rich sense of history created a peaceful and reflective experience. Well-maintained grounds and spectacular coastal scenery. It's one of those special places that leaves you feeling humbled and reminds you of the sheer scale and beauty of the natural world. Great souvenir and Cafe shop Highly recommended.
