1. Cape Schanck Lighthouse is located on the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. It was built in 1859 and is one of the few operational lighthouses in Victoria. The lighthouse stands on a rugged coastline surrounded by dramatic cliffs and offers breathtaking views of Bass Strait. It is a popular tourist attraction and is also known for its rich maritime history.

One interesting fact about the Cape Schanck Lighthouse is that it was originally lit by a petroleum burner, which required the lighthouse keeper to climb up the tower every night to light it. In 1915, it was converted to an acetylene gas burner, and in 1939, it was electrified.

Another interesting fact is that the lighthouse was featured in the movie \"On the Beach\" (1959), based on the novel by Nevil Shute. The lighthouse serves as a symbol of hope and survival in the post-apocalyptic film.

2. The Cape Schanck Lighthouse is open to the public and operates from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily, except for Christmas Day. The lighthouse keeper’s cottage has been converted into a museum where visitors can learn about the history and workings of the lighthouse.
