Norah Head Light

The 27.5-meter concrete tower features a bluestone gallery and a powerful Chance Bros lantern that guides ships along the Central Coast of Australia.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1901 when materials arrived by boat at Cabbage Tree Harbour, with the first illumination occurring on November 15, 1903.

The lighthouse complex includes the keeper's quarters, assistant keeper's duplex, and signal house, representing early 20th-century maritime architecture in New South Wales.

Tours operate daily from 10 AM to 2 PM, costing $10 for adults and $5 for children, with visitors climbing 96 steps to reach the observation deck.

The structure employs a 1000-watt tungsten-halogen lamp that produces white flashes every 15 seconds, visible from 26 nautical miles at sea.
