SUNSET AT CAPE SCHANCK

MORNINGTON PENINSULA, VICTORIA

IMAGE NUMBER 1274

Cape Schanck is located at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula, fronting the waters of Bass Strait. There is no defined commercial centre at Cape Schanck as such, with nearby Rosebud and Flinders serving the area. Overlooking the promontory is the Cape Schanck lighthouse which was built in 1859 out of local limestone and features a rare spiral staircase made from stone. The lighthouse is surrounded by a reserve that includes a museum, former keeper's quarters and associated buildings.

This image was one of a series of images commissioned from Atticus Webb by the Amber Property Group for the Geoff Brady Collection of unique Victorian landscapes in 2020. The collection was compiled to mark the opening of the Sebel Hotel in Ringwood in February 2021. The images feature throughout the hotel.
