    Marked along the headland, this is the most easterly point of mainland Australia. From here, you’re looking straight out across the Pacific, with uninterrupted ocean stretching to the horizon.

    It’s a popular spot at sunrise, as one of the first places in the country to catch the light. It can get busy at that time, but the changing colours over the water make it worth timing your visit.

    The easternmost point of mainland Australia. Accessible directly on a very well developed circular route.
