Western Australia for the Food Is the Next Great Food Lover's Destination

"A 128-foot stone tower that was manned by resident keepers until 1992, led tours by a storm-weathered guide who spoke of two on-site apparitions: "You smell old man and tobacco, with no rhyme or reason," and an incident in a former keeper's cottage where, after a woman died in childbirth long ago, "Every door opened and closed at the same time," the guide said, a story that converted skeptics into believers." - Kevin West Kevin West Kevin West is a writer, food consultant, and “canning evangelist” (according to NPR). He’s the author of the cookbook “Saving the Season,” and his work has appeared in Travel + Leisure, Martha Stewart Living, Condé Nast Traveler, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine.

Amazing lighthouse. Great views. Highly recommended to take the guided tour to be able to climb the 176 steps to the top of lighthouse, see the first order lens and learn about the history of the site. The museum is full of interesting information and historical photos and artifacts. See where the Indian and Southern oceans meet.

The Cape Foundation has a wonderful facility here near Augusta WA. If anything this is a brilliant guided tour into another piece of coastline history. This south Western location is an exposed part of the coastal area where the Indian and Southern Oceans collide. It was relatively windy here when visited but thinking this was a regular day around here. Architecturally this is a larger example of mainland lighthouses, at 39m high. Amazing use of local artisans and limestone, amazed at how the walls tapered from bottom to top. The recent renovations make for an interesting journey of keeping this facility functional in such an important part of the coast adding to it's 135+ year's operation.

It is definitely worth checking out this Lighthouse. It is the tallest on the mainland albeit by 1 metre. The area is nice to wander around even though they charge for it now. 🤔

Awesome views, awesome coastline, awesome water colours. There was a cold wind blowing when we were there, but it was still bearable. It costs $7.50 for adults, $6 for seniors to walk around the area. Costs more if you want to go in the lighthouse. I recommend booking in advance for the guided tour. Highly recommend seeing it.

Spectacular spot, lots to see and do or simply admire the views. Friendly staff and a tasty cafe too. Low price to enter site and a little more to go on a guided tour to the top of this very tall and impressive lighthouse (not for those with a fear of heights!)

What a truly stunning spot in the world! 2 oceans meet in one of nature's finest displays. The lighthouse tour is worth it and the guides are absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable.

Visiting Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was an incredible experience! The views where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet are breathtaking, and the lighthouse itself is historic and well-preserved. The staff were informative, and the walk around the area offers amazing photo opportunities. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring Augusta!

A must-visit when you’re in the South West! Our guide was fantastic - full of insights and quirky stories about the lighthouse and the people connected to it. The views are absolutely stunning, but so are the winds, so hold onto your hats (and even your glasses) unless you fancy chasing them down the cliffside!

Cool spot to sit and enjoy a freshly baked scone with cream and jam, over looking the lighthouse and the point where the two oceans meet! Plenty of options on the menu and snacks to buy also! Grab a grounds pass or tour pass and have a look around the lighthouse while you're here!
