Green Cape, New South Wales

All passengers and crew boarded lifeboats and made it safely ashore.

[1][2] The Green Cape Lighthouse, the southernmost lighthouse in New South Wales, completed in 1883, was mostly constructed by Albert Aspinall, who constructed a 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) wooden tramway from the nearest landfall at Bittangabee Bay for the purpose.

On 31 May 1886 The SS Ly-Ee-Moon en route to Sydney from Melbourne, struck a reef close to the cape at night.

71 souls were lost with the lighthouse keepers only being able to save 15 people under the conditions.

[3] Green Cape has an oceanic climate (Cfb) with mild to warm summers and cool winters.
