Burrewarra Point Light, Solar-powered lighthouse in Burrewarra Point, New South Wales, Australia.
Burrewarra Point Light is an active lighthouse at Burrewarra Point, north of Broulee and 25 km south of Batemans Bay. It was built in 1974 as an automated light powered by batteries charged from the mains, and converted to solar power with battery backup in 1984. The light has no lantern.
The lighthouse was built in 1974 and received a major upgrade in 1984 when its power system changed from battery-backed mains to solar panels. This conversion made the station more independent and easier to maintain for remote operation.
The light is unmanned and run by Transport for NSW, so there is no keeper and no lantern room to visit; the headland is simply a public reserve where locals walk and watch the sea. The tower's small scale and exposed position make it a landmark for boats passing between Broulee and Batemans Bay.
The site is open and accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The lighthouse stands at Burrewarra Point, north of Broulee and 25 km south of Batemans Bay, and is operated by Transport for NSW. Plan to view it from outside.
The light has no lantern: the automated beacon sits exposed on the structure rather than inside a glass housing. It was built in 1974 and switched to solar power with battery backup in 1984, and Transport for NSW still operates it.
