Drove to Low Head Lighthouse for sunset. A beautiful old lighthouse with amazing views. It was blowing a gale and freezing cold when we went but we stayed for sunset and it was probably one of the highlights of our trip around Tassie. The sunset was magnificent and if you have a family you can watch the penguins come up jsut below the lighthouse.See more..
The lighthouse dates to 1889 and stands on the promontory at the West side of the Murray River mouth. Painted white with vertical red stripes as it's day mark. It was initially operated by lighthouse keepers who lived in cottages on site. They operated the kerosene lamp, and the later gas conversion until 1920 when it was connected to a DC electric operation. Mains power was connected in 1978. Worthwhile visiting for the views alone.See more..
4.5Cape Wickham Lighthouse(101 reviews) - Australia’s tallest lighthouse that was completed in 1861. Spent < 1 hour Lighthouses
Standing on the northerly most tip of the island this lighthouse is an impressive 48 metres tall and is anchored on a stone base that is 3.4 metres thick. The lighthouse keepers had to scale over 220 steps (11 flights of stairs) to get to the lamp at a minimum twice daily until the lighthouse was automated in 1918. The lighthouse was eventually built in response to multiple ship wrecks including the Neva which was wrecked in 1835 with the loss of 225 people, mainly convict women and children, and the Cataraqui in 1845 with the loss of 402 free settlers. This was Australia’s worst maritime disaster. We had some food and drink at the nearby Cape Wickham Golf Clubhouse - visitors welcome - where the view of the lighthouse framed by the golf course snaking along the coast was quite superb.See more..

4.0Eddystone Point Lighthouse(8 reviews) - Magical Oasis Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses
Did the drive from Binalong Bay on a windy cool day. Road is half paved and half unpaved so takes a little while to get there but it was so worth the trip. It felt like the end of the world. No-one there when we arrived so we checked out the beautiful lighthouse then walked out to the amazing huge bay of fires boulders with that amazing red all over them with gorgeous little rock pools that were so blue. It was magical and a lovely place to take some gorgeous photos. Just wandered around for a while as the place was just so beautiful. Travelled for a month around Tassie and this place was probably one of my favourite. Very magical and well worth the drive.See more..
This historic lighthouse sits at the entrance to Lake Macquarie, the 120 m wide access to the very large lake and can be so rought it has been called Hell's Gates. The entrance was found around 1815 and a beacon was installed at Cape Sorell around 1822. In 1891 a light was installed near the entrance and one assumes this became the lighthouse that exists today. It was powered by gas until 1977 and is now solar and battery powered. Pretty lighthouse and pick a nice sunny day and calm winds as it can get rough.See more..
