Cape Otway: The Coastline That Keeps Its Secrets
The lighthouse at Cape Otway has warned mariners away from Victoria’s shipwreck coast since 1848. The waters below it have claimed hundreds of vessels, and the skies above it played host to the final radio transmission of Frederick Valentich.
It is a place of violent weather and strange beauty, where the Southern Ocean meets sheer cliffs, and where locals have long traded stories of unexplained lights over the water.
For anyone retracing the events of 21 October 1978, Cape Otway is where the map runs out. Beyond it lies only Bass Strait, and the questions that have gone unanswered for nearly half a century.
