This amazing lighthouse has great views, but if you want an even better experience head on a walk down the coast to Rainbow Falls. (Worth avoiding the cafe at the light station though, staff are rude and the food is limited to say the least!!!)

Had a lovely walk to the lighthouse at CapeOtway. It has been in operation since 1848. You can climb to the top 90 metres above the shore, it has great views but a little windy . There is also a whale...
Hard to believe that they have the only restaurant/kitchen in a 25km radius and they do not sell any food for picnic style lunches or takeaway? I would have thought that they would have learned a less...
This light house faces the Southern Ocean so the views were spectacular. I did not take the light house tour as there was a long queue to get in and due to covid limitations only 8 people were allowed...
A great little trip into history. The lighthouse is suitable for kids, our youngest was 6. The views were spectacular. The historical references were very interesting and educational. We did not stay...
Curiosity piqued by sign on main road I decided to take the 15 minutes off the beaten track. Very glad I did! The scenery is breathtaking all the way along the road. Watch out for koalas (and touri...
The Cape Otway Lightstation is Australia's old and representative lighthouse. It was built in 1848 and is still in use until now. The lighthouse is built on a 80-meter-high seaside cliff facing the intersection of the Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. At the earliest, the criminals from the United Kingdom and the thousands of immigrants from Europe and the Americas spent several months traveling across the ocean to Australia. The Cape Otway was the first they saw. A piece of land, because there was no lighthouse, it caused hundreds of people to die. Later, after several proposals, the lighthouse was built. It is famous because there is a giant lead crystal worth 5 million yuan from the United Kingdom. Lens, there is a telegraph station during the Second World War, a lighthouse man's hut to find the story of the lighthouse keeper and the telegrapher, and you can watch the whales on the lighthouse and get close to the koala in the forest. There are also many artifacts, such as the red-haired Eric anchor, lighthouse and beacon, signal flagpole, weather station, radar lookout and more.

The Great Otway National Park is a rare toll attraction on the Great Ocean Road, with an adult ticket of 19.5 knives. If you don't buy a ticket, you can't see the lighthouse. However, there is a one-time charge at the entrance. There is no extra charge when you enter the park. The entrance is the ticket office and gift shop. There are Chinese materials to take, and the map map is very love. After entering the door, I saw a shipwreck wreck with a CAPE OTWAY.

Cape Otway Lightstation is the southernmost tip of the Great Ocean Road and the oldest lighthouse in Australia's hinterland. The lighthouse needs to be purchased, not cheap, but the interior is actually quite big, except for the lighthouse at the end, as well as cafes and museums for rest. The lighthouse still has guards waiting for it every day, and you can see it when you climb the top of the tower. He will give you a free explanation. What's more interesting is that accommodation is also available here. You can stay in the small house of the lighthouse guardian for one night. When the tourists are scattered, you can enjoy the entire park and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

Fortunately, I boarded the lighthouse for the first time. Walking through the rotating stone steps, standing on the observation deck of the lighthouse, this is the first time to watch the sea like this. It feels very beautiful and spectacular. I recommend everyone to come and take a look.
I've seen a lot of lighthouses. In fact, there are many better-looking ones, but this lighthouse feels like the best built among all tourist facilities. It has a well-built path that extends from the seaside to the roadside.
We can see this lighthouse on the beach in the national park. We didn't get close because there are already too many lighthouses in this country, so I looked at it from a distance and it felt very beautiful.
This lighthouse is not only beautiful in itself, but the surrounding environment is also very beautiful. It is a large lawn, and it is close to the sea, and there are also very good plank roads, so I think it is very suitable to visit.
