The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the headland of Cape Leeuwin, Listeni/ˈluːwɪn/ the most south-westerly point on the mainland of the Australian Continent, in the state of Western Australia. Opened with great ceremony by John Forrest in 1895, the lighthouse has since been automated. The lighthouse, besides being a navigational aid, serves as an important automatic weather station. The lighthouse's buildings and grounds are now vested in the local tourism body and the single (1960s) and double (1980s) communications towers that were north-west of the lighthouse, seen in older photographs of Cape Leeuwin, have been removed.
