Cape Otway Lighthouse



We started the second day, Queen's Birthday ;), with the Cape Otway Lighthouse, the longest lived lighthouse in Australia, located in the 84 kilometre gap between, Cape Wickham on, King Island and Cape Otway, known also as the "Eye of the Needle".

On our way there we passed again through some very old forest, big old trees and the occasional cows ;)

The Lighthouse guide was born there and even went to school in the little house and he was an extremely helpful and knowledgeable character. He even started off the light for us!!

Our bonus for the visit was the Koala bear we found in a tree on our way back, as you can see, he was nicely sleeping and couldn't care less about the tourists under his tree that were trying to get his attention :).
