Old Waterwheel

Cape Leeuwin the most southwesterlt point in Australia. It has some of the most rugged coastline in Australia. Many a fisherman has been washed off the rocks by king waves and lost at sea never to be found. It is where the two great oceans the Southern and Indian Ocean meet. The lighthouse still operates and it and surrounding buildings are Heratige listed. There is a fossilised waterwheel there which has turned to stone by the water that has a high mineral content in it turned it to stone. The nearest town is Augusta a pertty hamley at the mouth of the Blackwood River.
