OMG it's a lighthouse
Many photo's of the lighthouse at Cape Otway
If you like lighthouse photos, you will like this update, it is all lighthouses.
The lighthouse is the main attraction, but as you shall see there are also Wallabies.
Also there is the Great Ocean Walk, different from the road, as its for walking not driving.
I walked on some of it.
The sunset was very good, it is now dark, the lighthouse is lit up. Ships are safely navigating. Soon I might go and see some stars. Sky stars, not movie stars.
There are at least some other people here in some of the other buildings, but they are far away from me. There is also a story about a guy who crashed his Cesena into the ocean after seeing a UFO. So who knows, I could be attacked by an alien Wallaby hybrid.
Lighthouse, with the walkway and stay 1.5m away from me or I will stab you repeatedly COVID signs.
That is the cafe, with my accommodation on the left. The cafe has wifi, I think I can get connected if I go press my laptop against the glass. I am about to try that!
Getting closer to the lighthouse.
The view back towards Melbourne in the late afternoon.
Wait, what is this? IT IS THE ACTUAL LIGHTHOUSE! A pathetic little light down the cliff out of view. My lighthouse is just an ornamental fake tourist lighthouse!
I came face to face with everyone's greatest fear. They cannot walk backwards. If they attack, get behind them (I stole this joke from a famous comedian).
Further proof, I rolled part way down a cliff and here is evidence of real lighthouse with fake tourist lighthouse.
Disheartened that I had been tricked into operating a tourist lighthouse, I set off on the Great Ocean Walk to find myself.
I went quite a distance away before I could bring myself to look at the lighthouse again.
It was tempting to just keep going, forever.
Eventually I turned back, and got back in time for the sunset.
Behold, sunset on lighthouse.
Sun going into the sea. Photo of the day. Big cliche. I don't care.
Sinking sun and lighthouse.
I climbed up a hill to observe from afar....
And then I found a world war 2 radar station. Turns out Japan flew reconnaissance flights right over here, using the lighthouse for navigation! They quickly built a radar as a result.
Here are all the buildings of Cape Otway. Including a wooden whale, flag poles and portable toilets.
