At a height of 39 meters, it is the tallest lighthouse in WA. Erected on Australia’s most southwestern peninsula, it towers 56 meters above sea level. The lighthouse stands as an ever vigilant guard at the end of the granite peninsula. There is a fee of $8 per person to enter the Leeuwin precinct, and a small additional fee to explore the inside of the lighthouse.

The beaches have the silkiest sand, and the bluest skies. Regular visitors and locals refer to Cape Cod as, simply, The Cape. For all of the years…

    best solution is, but I am glad the college students at UCT were able to do something about the Cecil Rhodes statue because of the imperialism it represented.
