Hornby Lighthouse, Sydney, Australia
About this stone
This distinctive lighthouse stands at South Head, marking the entrance to the harbour with its bold red and white stripes. Built in 1858 following the tragic sinking of two ships, it was designed by colonial architect Alexander Dawson and remains a vital beacon for sailors navigating the rocky coastline. The structure captures the charm of early maritime history and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can enjoy whale watching during migration season, making it both a working navigational aid and a beloved icon of the region.
