Norah Head Light

Norah Head Light, Maritime lighthouse at Norah Head, New South Wales, Australia

Norah Head Light is a concrete tower on the Central Coast of New South Wales featuring a bluestone-faced gallery and a powerful optical system. The station includes keeper's quarters, assistant keeper's residence, and a signal house that reflect early 20th-century coastal infrastructure design.

Construction started in 1901 with materials arriving by boat at Cabbage Tree Harbour, and the light first shone on November 15, 1903. The station has been modernized over time while retaining its core concrete structure and original tower design.

The entrance door glass is etched with the Latin motto Olim Periculum Nunc Salus, "Once Perilous, Now Safe", and the year of lighting, A1903D, is set above it. The first-floor report room, where keepers kept logbooks, now serves as a radio room. The site can be hired for events.

The lighthouse is open to the public daily and can also be hired for events. Inside, 96 steps rise to the gallery in four stages, the last steeper and narrower than the first three. The staircase has concrete treads faced with slate and a cast-iron and brass balustrade.

The entrance door glass is etched with the Latin motto Olim Periculum Nunc Salus, meaning "Once Perilous, Now Safe", and the year A1903D appears above it. Inside, the original desk for the visitor's book still stands in the tiled hallway.
