Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse
After Bunker Bay we went west to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse.
Where we were!
Breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, Cape Naturaliste, Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and the beautiful Geographe Bay coastline reward visitors to the top balcony of the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse.
Easier than most lighthouses to climb, the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse is one of the most popular attractions in the Geographe Bay and Margaret River Wine region.
Built from limestone quarried from nearby Bunker Bay, at its highest point the lighthouse is 123 metres above sea level.
The lighthouse and its location is part of the Cape to Cape Track.
The Cape to Cape Walk Track is a long-distance walk trail located in the far south-west corner of Western Australia, 250 km south of Perth. It meanders along the whole length of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, which forms the backbone of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Its start and finish are the lighthouses at the tips of Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. The Track extends over 135 km of coastal scenery, sheltered forests and pristine beaches, and is in close proximity to the caves, vineyards and other features and attractions of the “South West Capes – Margaret River Region”.
The lighthouse with threatening looking skies
One of the biggest thrills was looking out into the Indian Ocean and spotting a whale!

Of course, more wildflowers that we’ve come to expect everywhere in Western Australia
