It is a cape east of Cape Talbot, and north east of Kalumburu.

It is the south-west corner of the extent of the Timor Sea as described by the International Hydrographic Organization in 1953.[1]

It is a reference point for various events that occur nearby.[2][3]

Due to its isolation, development has been proposed[by whom?] to place facilities and other projects at the location.[4][5]
