Hicks Point

NOTE: NO ACCESS AS ROAD IS CLOSED Road is closed half way in due to major work being done to the thurra bridge The bridge was damaged in the 2020 bushfires then suffered major flood damage in 2022 A totally new steel concrete bridge is currently being built and is due to completed end of 2025

The Point Hicks lighthouse is closed, hardly any signage to inform you from where or why it’s closed, drove half way down to see the road closed off due to construction work. A more detailed sign saying access to the lighthouse is completed closed no access - then people taking advantage of being right there would not waste an hr of driving.

This is an incredibly beautiful spot, but right now, it is totally inaccessible due to fires that occurred 3 years ago!😏🫤 We could only catch a distant glimpse of lighthouse from the camp-site track. Parks Victoria actually showed the closed road as open!🤦‍♀️ Fires aside, there should be more than a winding dusty dirt road to such a significantly historic beauty spot!

Parks Victoria just recently took over the lighthouse - they’re renovating the cabins and should be up for booking spring/summer 2018. Book online through them. Regardless have to go to the lighthouse Susan who lives on site is such a character, so knowledgeable and overall such a lovely woman! The lighthouse is so cool and beautiful views around! Tours are at 1pm as on park vic site online. Can make drive in 2wd but call parks vic ahead as thurra river campground can flood and need to go through that to lighthouse.

Beautiful place to visit if you are up for a walk (the lighthouse is approx 2km from the carpark and 4km from Thurra River Campground). There are free guided tours at 1pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with a max of 12 people per tour (no bookings required). There is plenty of birdlife and wildlife along the track, we saw whales, seals, dolphins and a wallaby. There are toilets at Thurra River Campground and a few benches along the track.

One word: Amazing. It's worth the trip and more worth it if you camp out for a few days to thoroughly enjoy it especially with secluded beaches and all. It is a rough road to get to from Cann River (approx. 1 hour one way).

It’s closed. No signs or notification until you’ve driven for about an hour through windy roads. Gorgeous drive but no access to the lighthouse. Must be another huge walk in.

Lovely view of ocean. Good camping areas. Would love to buy the lease.
