  Location of South East Cape in Tasmania
|
|
The South East Cape is a cape located at the southernmost point of the main island of Tasmania, the southernmost state of Australia.[1] The cape is situated in the southern and south-eastern corner of the Southwest National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, approximately 94 kilometres (58 mi) southwest of Hobart in Tasmania, and about 65 kilometres (40 mi) east and a little south of the South West Cape.
Location and features
The Islands of the Maatsuyker and Pedra Branca island groups, as well as the subantarctic Macquarie Island, lie further south than the South East Cape and are also part of the state of Tasmania.
South East Cape is one of the Five Southernmost Capes that can be rounded by Southern Ocean sailors.
The cape is also a reference point for sectors of the southern coastline of Tasmania.[2] It is also the location of boating mishaps [3]
