Crookhaven Heads Light is an active〔"Lighthouses of Australia", raises doubts, but it is still listed as active in the ''List of Lights'' (2009 edition released in 2010).〕 lighthouse located at Crookhaven Heads, a headland on the south side of the entrance to the Shoalhaven River, north of Culburra Beach, New South Wales, Australia. Together with a movable light flashing yellow every 2s it serves as a range light into the channel. The lighthouse is in a severely deteriorated condition, and considered by some the most endangered lighthouse in New South Wales, suffering from repeated vandalization. ==History== The first light on the vicinity was a red lantern made from a ship's masthead supported on two poles, present at the river entrance since 1872. The station was established with a timber tower in 1882, as part of the Shoalhaven Signal Station west of the current lighthouse, with Thomas Bishop as the first operator. The apparatus had been a brass lantern. The current lighthouse was commissioned in 1904 and the old wooden lighthouse was immediately demolished. The lantern used was the one from the former Cape St George Lighthouse which was replaced by Point Perpendicular Light in 1899. The name of the station was then changed to Crookhaven Heads. The power source was changed to solar power in the late 20th century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crookhaven Heads Light」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
