Yes it is if you put in Cape Leeuwin in your search engine you will get
several web pages, the land adjacent to it was discovered by Dutch
Navigators
and given the name Leeuwin, Mathew Flinders then named the Cape Leeuwin
after them, there is an old lighthouse there, and there is also a
National Park
It the most southerly western tip of Australia where the Indian and Pacific
oceans meet -
