Cape Melville is a headland on the eastern coast of the Cape York Peninsula in Australia. To its west lies Princess Charlotte Bay. It is part of the Cape Melville National Park.
Pipon Island is about 6 km north of the cape and Hales Island about 2 km east, both part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Famous quotes containing the words cape and/or melville:
“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“I felt a melting in me. No more my splintered heart and maddened hand were turned against the wolfish world.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
