An extinct volcano, Table Cape has an otherworldly feel to it. To reach the summit, take the minor road (C234) 4km northwest out of Wynyard, and drive to the lighthouse , which began its seaside vigil in 1888. Although actual opening hours can be erratic, if it's open you can climb the spiral stairs inside and walk around the light at the top for suitably sensational views over Bass Strait. Tours were no longer running at time of research – check at the visitor information centre in Wynyard.
