The lighthouse on Gabo Island guards the eastern entrance to Bass Strait in #Australia. It is an active navigation lighthouse and weather station for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
It was built in 1853 from red granite sourced on the island. The wind blew down the windbreak wall, so buttresses were added for stability.
We went to the top for perfect 360 degree views on a blue sky day.
Access to the island is generally by boat and one can stay overnight!

Top Gabo Island Hotel Reviews

Mallacoota's Shady Gully Caravan Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a cabin. Simple accommodation, with lots of natural light, and was surrounded by trees and a native garden. Clean and neat inside. The beds were clean and comfortable. Best of all was the friendly and approachable service by the owners. I would definitely stay here again. "
