Cape Hamelin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Hamelin is a headland 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Hamelin Bay in the Capes region of south-western Western Australia. Except for Cape Leeuwin, it is the southernmost of over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) of features named by the French in their travels along the coast.[1][2]
Wrecks of ships have occurred within the vicinity of the cape.[3] The cape is in an area where crayfishing has been practised, and also where it has been restricted.[4]
