Cape Byron Lighthouse, Baron Bay, 🇦🇺 Australia
About this Stone
Standing proudly at the most easterly point of the Australian mainland, this lighthouse is a breathtaking landmark with a rich history. Built in 1901, it remains one of the country's most powerful lighthouses, its beam stretching nearly 50 kilometers out to sea. The structure sits atop dramatic cliffs, offering sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, where you can often spot migrating humpback whales during the winter months. Powered initially by kerosene, it now operates on automated solar technology, reflecting a blend of historical craftsmanship and modern innovation.
