Cape Otway it is. Lighthouse built in 1848 due the great number of shipwrecks on that part of the coast.
It has a fascinating history and worth a couple of days stay to do all the things to see and do in the Otway National Park.
Over to you kingswood308, show us were you have been.

G'day Foxy and Kingswood308,
I was wondering if it was the Cape Otway lighthouse.
I visited there a number of years ago, and as Foxy says it has a fascinating history. A couple of the stories that I found simultaneously interesting and disturbing were the ones about the mines laid off Cape Otway by German ships during WWII, and that the water off Cape Otway was the starting off point for a Japanese reconnaissance flight over Melbourne and Geelong using a folding plane launched from a submarine.
Just a reminder that we were closer to the war in Australia than probably most of us realised then or now.

Hi 2up It appears you have missed the 7th post before yours as split point lighthouse was ruled out. I don't know what you have been drinking but I want some.

Well mustang, you have narrowed it to the right state. What name does the building go by? What is the name of the town?
