On meeting your ranger at the lighthouse door, you'll be given exclusive guided access to ascend this magnificent structure of NSW maritime history. Inside the lighthouse we'll navigate steep narrow steps and a ladder to access the balcony and light room.

Your ranger will delve into the history and significance of the lighthouse.
