New light tower

1995

The old lighthouse was used continuously until this time but became too short for the surrounding vegetation, which were interrupting the beam of light. At this time the Australian Maritime Safety Authority built the new light tower. It is 34m tall and its' 6 light beams shine 40km out to sea (21 nm). It is solar powered, fully automated and runs 24hrs.
