2 Overview
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse Guided Tower Tour
Visitors take a trip through maritime history and learn how this famous landmark was constructed from local limestone in 1895 and is still a vital working lighthouse for vessels navigating the treacherous cape.
Guided half-hour tours will take visitors to the top of the tower, where a vast seascape will unfold before them. All are awed by the crashing waves and the rugged wilderness of the landscape, while learning about the unique flora and fauna of the cape and hearing fascinating stories of early mariners, shipwrecks and the hardships faced by the lighthouse keepers.
A new Interpretive Centre, housed in one of the original lighthouse keepers' cottages, celebrates the history and lives of the numerous lighthouse keepers who were custodians of this rugged coastline. Using artefacts and stories, interactive technology and a large-scale animated film, visitors can discover fascinating insights into the lives of the men, women and children who once lived at the tallest lighthouse in mainland Australia.
