POINT REYES LIGHTHOUSE, CALIFORNIA, USA

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

With over 2.6 million visitors annually, Point Reyes is a unique destination. Far more than a lighthouse situated on a Peninsula, Point Reyes is a distinctive park that was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Point Reyes is the foggiest area known in California and therefore has an uncommonly low light structure. The light was located at the bottom of the cliff near the water, making it visible for seamen navigating through the fog and along the coast in a rough storm.
The Lighthouse Visitor Center, located on the west side of Point Reyes peninsula, gives visitors information on the structure started in 1855 and erected in 1870 and lifesaving services performed during the 125 years it was utilized as a navigational guide. Visitors beware, there are more than 300 steps in a steep descent to the lighthouse and the only way you can get out is the way you got in, by walking!
The long, scenic drive to the museum makes the structure feel extremely distant from the San Francisco bay. Over 140 miles of hiking trails, backcountry camping, nearby RV camping and bed and breakfast inns in close proximity offer a multitude of activities for visitors looking to spend a day on the peninsula or possibly even a weekend.

CAPE OTWAY LIGHTHOUSE, AUSTRALIA

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

For many 19th Century immigrants, Cape Otway was the first land sighted after leaving Britain five months and 15,500 km earlier. The 84 kilometre gap between Cape Wickham on King Island and Cape Otway is known as the "Eye of the Needle", and is the Western entrance to Bass Strait.

Due to concern over shipwrecks on the Bass Strait coast and King Island, pressure was exerted on the government to build a lighthouse at Cape Otway. Construction was begun by a local contractor in 1846. Access was a problem in establishing the lighthouse and after three attempts the Cape was finally reached by land. A site was selected and after great difficulty a road was cut. Construction was taken over by the government in 1847 and completed in 1848.

The lighthouse is constructed of sandstone quarried from Parker River 5 kilometres away, is 20 metres high and sits on a cliff 100m above sea level. It was the second lighthouse constructed on mainland Australia.

Initially it had 21 parabolic reflectors, each with its own wick burning sperm whale oil. These were rotated by clockwork and it gave a single flash lasting 3 seconds every 53 seconds, which threw a beam 22 kilometres. Kerosene was later used to keep the light burning. Later changes included diesel generators, electricity, radio and global positioning satellites.

In 1859, one of the earliest telegraph stations in Australia was added to the facility, soon connecting Tasmania to the mainland through Cape Otway and Melbourne.

The Cape Otway Lighthouse was the oldest operational lighthouse with unbroken service on the mainland Australian coast until it was decommissioned in January 1994, with the introduction of satellite navigation systems, including a small solar powered beacon. At the beginning of 1997, the Lightstation was leased to a local company, to operate for tours and accommodation. Cape Otway celebrated 150 years of existence in August 1998.
