Cruises visiting Augusta
The town of Augusta is a well-kept secret which lies as far South West as you can go in Australia. It is home to the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australian at Cape Leeuwin and the largest show cave in WA, Jewel Cave. Historic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse stands at the point where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet and is the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia. It was one of the last manually operated in the world until it was converted to electricity in 1982. Jewel Cave comprises three chambers showcasing a millennia of nature’s finest art, including cave coral, and beautiful examples of flowstone. The nearby Boranup forest is a spectacular showpiece of towering Karri trees, some over 60m in height and provides an insight into the Southwest Australia Biodiversity hotspot. You will have the opportunity to take a coach tour showcasing the regions history and scenery.
