Lighthouses

 

Hornby Lighthouse, New South Wales, Australia

The whimsical, carnivalesque red-and-white striped lighthouse at South Head in Sydney National Park, built in 1858, is surrounded by majestic views. To the east, there’s Sydney Harbour; Middle Head and North Head lie to the north; and eastwards faces towards the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. It also happens to be a prime spot for whale watching.
