New South Wales Lighthouses

Cape Byron lighthouse

For hundreds of years Lighthouses have stretched the NSW coastline, some are open to the public and many are still in working condition.

Several are managed by National Parks & Wildlife and others are maintained by NSW Roads & Maritime Services. Within Sydney Harbour lighthouses are maintained by Port Authority NSW.
