South Point
The southernmost point of the Australian mainland, marked on a rocky headland. It is a must-visit for walkers on the Southern Circuit.
South Point lies west of the lighthouse and can be reached by a one-way walk of about 3.5 km branching off the Southern Circuit at Roaring Meg campground. The granite headland faces the Southern Ocean and Bass Strait, and on clear days you can see the islands in the strait. There is no road access, so the round trip adds half a day. It is usually scheduled for the second day of the Southern Circuit. The sea is windy and rough here, so never approach the slippery rock edges.
