The South West Cape Range[2] provides a buffer between the cape and the inland wilderness area to the east and north, and the next range to the east is the Melaleuca Range. The high point of the southern end of the range, closest to the cape, is Mount Karamu at 439 metres (1,440 ft). The mount is named after the USS steam ship which foundered off the cape in 1925.[3][4][5][6]
Wrecks and foundering of boats up to 500 kilometres (270 nmi; 310 mi) away in distance, are usually referred to this cape as an identification point,[7][8] and mapping of the area usually uses the cape as a boundary between sections of the coast.[9][10]
