Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse
What to expect
Take a journey through time to learn how the first settlers and lighthouse keepers lived in this remote South-West outpost.
As the Swan River Colony spread South, the calm waters of Geographe Bay became an important trading post for local industries. Built-in 1903, this fully operational lighthouse has stood guard over the cape for the past century. Students will step back in time to learn about the first inhabitants, colonial settlement and lives of the isolated lighthouse keepers and families who lived here.
A private tour of the lighthouse allows students to take in panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, Leeuwin Naturaliste Park and Geographe Bay. They can then explore the Lightkeepers museum, housed in one of the original lighthouse keepers’ cottages, to learn about the history and lives of the lighthouse keepers who protected this coastline.
