The South Point is the most southerly point of mainland Australia. It is further than it looks, with the round trip from the lighthouse being almost 19km, and is almost a day trip in itself.

It is recommended that you take food, water and warm clothes in case the weather changes during your trip.

The South Point itself is a rocky outcropping of granite boulders. There is a weather beaten wooden plaque notifying you of your goal, but you are advised to not travel out to the waterline to avoid disturbing the wildlife.
