At the southwestern tip of Western Australia, Cape Leeuwin marks the meeting of the Indian and Southern Oceans. This exposure makes it Australia's windiest location.
The unimpeded fetch across the Southern Ocean ("Roaring Forties") funnels powerful westerlies into the cape. The Leeuwin Current and coastal topography amplify local effects.
The historic Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse (1895) offers dramatic views—hold onto your hat!
