Table Cape
A flat-topped headland about 180 m high, with a century-old lighthouse and a viewing platform. In spring, the tulip fields on the summit are colourful.
Table Cape is a flat-topped, extinct volcanic headland near Wynyard, rising about 180 m, with fertile red-soil farmland on top. The viewing platform overlooks Bass Strait and the coastline. The Table Cape Lighthouse, built in 1888, offers guided climbs during the season. From about late September to October, the tulip farm on the summit is in full bloom, with red, yellow and purple fields against the blue sea. It is one of Tasmania's most photogenic spring scenes, and the farm charges an admission fee during bloom season. About 60 km from Stanley, it can be combined with Boat Harbour Beach and Rocky Cape in a day trip.
