Warden Head Light, Maritime navigation beacon in Ulladulla, Australia.
Description
Warden Head Light is a lighthouse on a headland near Ulladulla's port entrance, featuring a wrought iron tower set on a concrete base. The structure stands solidly on the point and marks the water approach with its elevated position.
History
The lighthouse was originally designed by engineer Edward Orpen Moriarty and built on Ulladulla Breakwater in 1873. It was relocated to its current position at Warden Head in 1889.
Culture
The name comes from the Warden brothers, local shipwrights whose family shaped the maritime activities of the region. Visitors can still see this connection to shipping history reflected in the lighthouse's location and purpose.
Practical
The lighthouse sits on a headland and is easy to reach on foot, though the tower itself has restricted access. The surrounding area has walkable paths that remain open year-round and offer good coastal views.
Did you know?
This is one of only two lighthouses in New South Wales built entirely from riveted wrought iron plates, made in Joseph Mather's foundry. The riveted construction was an innovative technique for the time and shows the skilled metalwork of 19th-century craftsmen.
