Cape Baily Lighthouse

Cape Baily Light is an active lighthouse at the southern tip of the entrance to Botany Bay in New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1950, after the idea first came up in 1931, and uses a historic lantern from the late 19th century. Today the lighthouse is solar-powered and helps northbound ships steer clear of strong southerly currents. The site lies within Botany Bay National Park and is open to the public. You can reach it on a hike of about two and a half hours from Solander Road in Kurnell. The tower itself is closed to the public.
