Cape Otway Lightstation

A Great Ocean Road needs a great lighthouse and it can be found way down Cape Otway way. The light station is Australia's oldest one, built in 1848, and most significant. The views can be, er, killer.

The big boy.


Crow's nest with a stunning view. Inside the top of the lighthouse, cramped.

Did we mention the view? A decent surf out aways over a shoal.


Elsewhere on the property, other, non-lighthouse features. An old telegraph office and quarters.

Closer to the shore, a WWII era bunker. Seems zero thought went into disguising its purpose. Solid.
