Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse

Australia

Excerpt:

The original 2nd order Chance Brothers Fresnel lens remains in use. In January 2004 NSW National Parks announced plans for a complete restoration of the station and improvements in facilities and interpretation. The completion of this work was celebrated on February 1, 2005. The park service has a web page for the lighthouse. In September 2013 firefighters were barely able to save the lighthouse from a raging bushfire; one of the outbuildings was damaged by the flames. In October 2014 a $3 million restoration plan was announced for the area; it includes making the keeper's cottages available for overnight accommodations. Located at the end of a long peninsula marking the south entrance to Barren Bay and Hawkesbury River. Parking is available (fee) but there's a steep climb on the 1.5 km (1 mi) trail to the lighthouse. Site open, tower open to guided tours on Sundays (reservations not required).
