“Where Two oceans meet” , a lighthouse built to facilitate navigation, simply overwhelming, loved the place, and the staff was helpful, friendly and made you feel so welcome.

It is one of the most prominent landmark in Rottnest Island and it has great views from the top of the hill. If you are unfit, I recommend the hop-on bus. Lather plenty of sunblock, unless you plan to get a tan.

We went on a guided tour of the lighthouse , we had a great guide for the 45 min tour to the top which was very informative and delivered great views . An easy climb as the lighthouse is short, loads of interesting stories from its history and views towards sugarloaf rock.

The Bunbury Lighthouse is not open and you can only view it from the outside. The lighthouse can be seen from the Marlston Hill Lookout Tower or if you want to get up close, just park at Wyulug-Rocky Point. Alternatively, if you are staying on Ocean Drive, better still take a walk. Our family took the opportunity to go for a 5K run from the Ocean Drive Motel where we were staying to the lighthouse and back. A bonus is that you will get to also enjoy the varying views along the coast of Ocean Drive.

This North Mole Lighthouse is red instead of the South Mole Lighthouse is green. It started in 1906 and offered entrance to the Fremantle harbor. It was even more amazing when the sunset was on its way. Truly beautiful! Worthwhile to see
