#610 Cape Otway Light Station

Cape Otway Light Station, Great Otway National Park, Australia

About this stone

This lighthouse stands on the rugged cliffs of Victoria's southern coast within Great Otway National Park, a dramatic setting where ancient rainforest meets the sea. As the most southern lighthouse on mainland Australia, it has guided countless ships through the treacherous waters of Bass Strait since its construction in 1848. The spot carries remarkable wartime history—during World War II, American radar installations were secretly established nearby to detect enemy submarines, adding a layer of intrigue to its already rich maritime legacy. The combination of navigational heritage, natural beauty, and Cold War secrets makes this a compelling destination for those drawn to historical and coastal exploration.
