Join a tour of the Cape Otway Lighthouse (built 1848) and inspect its cemetery, the resting-place of the victims of some of the region’s many shipwrecks. Then take the trail to the Rainbow Falls, a cascade nearby that derives its name from the marvellous effect created by the afternoon sun as it sparkles on spring water spilling from a tall cliff.
