Wollongong Harbour

July 12, 2024
Wollongong Harbour Precinct is a heritage-listed shipping harbour in Wollongong, New South Wales. It is the only point on the eastern coast of Australia which has two lighthouses. Wollongong Harbour's Breakwater lighthouse has been inactive since 1974. It stands 12 metres high and has a tapered round wrought iron tower with lantern, painted white. Right next to Breakwater Lighthouse sits the larger Flagstaff Hill lighthouse. Which is currently active. The entire structure is painted white. It is located at Flagstaff Hill on Wollongong Harbour. The small sandy beach at Wollongong Harbour is known as Brighton Beach. Although the waters may seem calm most of the time, this is an unpatrolled beach and is not a suitable location for swimming.

Many thanks Marnie!
