This is us at Airey's Inlet and in front of the Split Point Lighthouse. It is the most elegant lighthouse on the Australian coastline. Built in 1891, and towering 110 feet, it was quite the chore to get to the top, but we did it! (huffing an puffing) The unattended light still emits 4 flashes of light on a 20 second cycle, visible for 30kms at sea. The view from up top is breath taking, to say the least! You need to understand the importance of lighthouses, since there have been many boat wrecks along the shoreline, back when they were run by humans. If you go scuba diving, you can see the remains of the ship.
