Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, Limestone lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin, Australia.
The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse rises 39 meters above the meeting point of the Indian and Southern Oceans at the southwestern tip of Australia.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1895 under the supervision of George Temple Poole, using local limestone to establish a maritime safety beacon.
The lighthouse represents a vital chapter in Australian maritime heritage, guiding vessels through dangerous waters since the late nineteenth century.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse through guided tours, climbing 176 steps to reach the observation deck for views across both oceans.
The lighthouse functions as both a navigational aid and an automatic weather station, collecting meteorological data from its strategic coastal position.
