Noticed Ving posted a lighthouse pic, I have taken a few over the past couple of years, so out of interest, post your lighthouse images and give us an idea of the location.
Here's
Eddystone Point lighthouse. Built 1889
LOCATION: Latitude 41° 00' S, Longitude 148° 21' E OPERATOR: Australian Maritime Safety AuthorityCHARACTER: Flashing 2 in 15 secondsLIGHT SOURCE: 1000 Watt 120v, Tungsten HalogenPOWER SOURCE: Mains Electricity, Diesel StandbyINTENSITY: 1,200,000 cdELEVATION: 42 MetresRANGE: 26 Nautical Miles (40 kms)HEIGHT: 35 Metres
The smaller white light at the front was to warn of Vicoria Rocks, hidden behind the headland here, I assume that if you rounded the point and were unable to see the smaller light you were a candidate for hitting the rocks. The front light is no longer operational.
