The light between oceans

Not for the faint hearted - coming down the narrow inside spiral staircase was vertigo inducing. Cape Leeuwin was named after the Dutch ship Leeuwin (Lioness) that charted this coast in 1627. It’s a wildly beautiful point that overlooks the meeting of the Southern and Indian oceans. Interesting to see waves breaking in different directions over the treacherous granite and sandstone rocks that snared dozens of shipwrecks before the 1895 lighthouse was built.
