Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Macquarie Lighthouse is located on Dunbar Head (Dunbar Head) in (Watsons Bay), Watsons Bay, eastern Sydney. It is a navigation lighthouse with very long working hours in Australia. In 1818, the governor of New Zealand and Wales, Lachlan Macquarie, ordered the construction of the lighthouse. It was designed by the British prisoner architect Francis Greenway. After the lighthouse was completed, it was named after the governor at that time. The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1883 and still plays a navigational role today. There is a green lawn under the white lighthouse, and the boundless sea to the east. Walking on the lawn is free. You need to pay a tour guide to enter the lighthouse. The tour guide will lead you into the lighthouse and will explain the lighthouse and the early history of Sydney. Climb 100 steps to the top of the lighthouse, and you can overlook the harbour and the city from the observation deck on the outside. However, for safety reasons, young children may not be suitable for sightseeing at the outer observation deck.
