Green Cape Lighthouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Green Cape Lighthouse is located at the tip of Green Cape which forms the northern boundary of Disaster Bay in southern New South Wales. It is the most southerly positioned lighthouse in New South Wales. In recent years the lighthouse has been automated.

The lighthouse was partly constructed by Albert Aspinall in 1881 using a seven-kilometre wooden tramway he built from Bittangabee Bay to transport the materials. His untimely death left others to complete the construction of the lighthouse.
