Aireys Inlet Wall Art: Bring the Round the Twist Lighthouse Home
If you grew up in Australia in the 90s, you know exactly what lighthouse we're talking about. The Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet isn't just any old coastal marker. It's THE lighthouse from Round the Twist. You know, that wonderfully weird TV show that had us all wishing we lived in a lighthouse and had bizarre magical adventures.
I've captured this iconic piece of Australian TV history in a way that'll make you want to belt out "Have you ever, ever felt like this?" every time you walk past it.
Why the Split Point Lighthouse Deserves a Spot on Your Wall
Look, Australia's got plenty of lighthouses. But how many of them are instantly recognizable to an entire generation of Aussies? The Split Point Lighthouse stands proud on the Great Ocean Road, and it's been guiding ships since 1891. That's over 130 years of keeping sailors safe and looking absolutely cracker while doing it.
The white tower against the coastal blues and greens is just chef's kiss. I've spent a decade photographing Victoria's coastline, and he knows exactly when to click the shutter to capture that perfect coastal light. Every single photo in the Local Breaks collection is shot by me personally. No stock photos, no buying images from other photographers. Just me, my camera, and an unhealthy obsession with Australia's best beaches.
That Nostalgic Round the Twist Vibe
Let's be honest. Half the reason we love this lighthouse is because of the show. Round the Twist was bonkers in the best possible way. Haunted dunnies, magic underpants, ice cream that made you fly. It was chaotic, it was Australian, and it was filmed right here at Aireys Inlet.
Having the Aireys Inlet Art Print I on your wall isn't just about coastal decor. It's about capturing a piece of Aussie pop culture history. It's a conversation starter. It's a nostalgia hit. It's a reminder of simpler times when the weirdest thing in your life was wondering what bizarre situation the Twist family would get into next week.
About the Print Options
My Aireys Inlet print comes in a bunch of different formats, so whether you've got a tiny apartment or a massive beach house, there's an option for you.
Size Matters
You can grab this beauty in six different sizes. Start with XS at 21x29.7cm if you're testing the waters, go up to S, M, L, or XL. Or if you're feeling absolutely legendary, there's the EPIC size at 100x150cm. That's 1.5 metres wide, folks. Imagine that lighthouse taking up serious real estate on your wall.
Frame It Your Way
Not into frames? No worries. The unframed print gives you total freedom to do your own thing. But if you want the full package, Local Breaks offers classic framed prints, framed canvas prints, shadow box framed prints, and premium shadow box options with Tru Vue glass for that extra special finish.
All the timber frames are FSC certified, which means they come from responsibly managed forests. Good for your wall, good for the planet.
The Great Ocean Road Connection
Aireys Inlet sits pretty along one of the world's most spectacular coastal drives. It's that perfect spot between Anglesea and Lorne where you can pull over, stretch your legs, and marvel at the Southern Ocean doing its thing.
I've photographed this entire stretch of coastline extensively. If you're keen on creating a whole Great Ocean Road gallery wall, you could pair the Aireys Inlet print with the Anglesea Art Print I or any of the other Anglesea shots. Chuck in the Apollo Bay Art Print I and you've got yourself a seriously impressive coastal collection.
