Cape Clear, Victoria

Cape Clear is a small town located in Victoria, Australia, adjacent to the Woady Yaloak River. The area was vibrant during the Victorian gold rush during the mid-19th century with the population swelling from fewer than 1000 to 25,000 at the height of the gold rush.

Cape Clear was named by Irish gold miners from Cape Clear in Ireland. Despite its name, it is about 100 kilometres from the coast. A 13-metre-high model lighthouse, with a working light, was constructed near the hotel in 2008 to create a local landmark.

The Cape Clear cast iron mileposts, on both the Lismore-Scarsdale Road and the Rokewood-Skipton Road, are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
