The Obelisk's History

The Obelisk was erected on Cape Dombey in 1852 and was used to navigate the entrance to Guichen Bay, as well as to store rocket lifesaving equipment. The firing of rockets, carrying baskets to distressed ships to bring passengers ashore, saved many lives. It later assisted passing ships with navigation because its height of 12m (40 ft) makes it visible 20km (12mles) out to sea.

The erosion of the land surrounding the obelisk will mean it will eventually fall away so make sure you visit this icon whilst staying in Robe.

New photos of Driftwood House, Robe


Wonderful meal at the Wild Mulberry

If in Robe on a Friday night - make sure you visit the Wild Mulberry for Dinner.

They are only open on Friday nights and have the BEST rolled pork belly and my partner had a delicious Chicken dish. We walked in off the street but it is probably best to make a booking.

Cooks up a storm at the Pelican Shed


A new kitchen has arrived. Wonderful cooker and induction cook top!
