Cape Mentelle

Cape Mentelle is a limestone headland on the Indian Ocean coast of south-western Western Australia.

It is within the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, just north of the mouth of the Margaret River and 9 km (5.6 mi) west of the town of Margaret River.

The cape was named on 4 February 1803 by French navigator Nicolas Baudin, on his expedition to Australia, after Edme Mentelle (1730-1815), a French geographer, historian and cartographer.

[1] It has given its name to a well known Margaret River winery, Cape Mentelle Vineyards.
