| The Obelisk |
| The Obelisk shipping marker on Cape Dombey stands 40
ft high and 100 feet above sea level. Built in 1855, the
Obelisk's alternate red and white bands helped guide mariners
and can be seen from 20 kms at sea. An icon not to be missed. |

| The Old Gaol |
| The Old Gaol held prisoners from 1860 until 1881.
After several escapes the outer walls were reinforced with steel boiler plates from the
shipwrecked Admella. A crumbling ruin until 1995, the gaol's walls are now restored and
great to explore.
