Beacon of Bounty
Aireys Inlet is a delightfully uncorrupted little seaside haven, which sits on one of Australia’s most iconic tourist attractions, the Great Ocean Road, 90 minutes west of Melbourne.
The dominant landmark at Aireys Inlet is the Split Point Lighthouse, known locally as the White Queen. It still functions out on the point as a reminder of the days when shipwrecks were common and safety was not taken for granted. It also acts as an educator for coastal conservation.
