Crowdy Head Light, Coastal lighthouse in Crowdy Head, Australia
Crowdy Head Light is a coastal lighthouse in New South Wales featuring a white cylindrical tower. The structure has a viewing balcony, lantern room, and bluestone corbels that support the circular design.
Architect James Barnet designed this lighthouse in 1878 as part of a series of five similar structures along the New South Wales coast. These towers represented an effort to improve navigation safety for ships in the region.
The nearby Three Brothers mountains held meaning for the Birpai Nation long before European contact. These peaks served as important landmarks in the traditional landscape for thousands of years.
The grounds are open to visitors during daylight hours, though the tower interior is not accessible for safety reasons. Plan your visit during clear weather to fully appreciate the coastal views and surroundings.
The original Fresnel lens from this lighthouse was sold through an online auction and now sits at Sea Girt Light in New Jersey. This unexpected journey shows how lighthouse equipment has been dispersed to different locations around the world.
