25th March, 2011 - 16 metres tall, elevation from sea level 30m, flashes 4 every 20 seconds completed 1882. Corny Point Lighthouse - first Ligthhouse keeper J Dagwell. I wonder what would interest a person to become a lighthouse keeper, especially at a remote location like Corny Point. To be so isolated and to be so dedicated. One of the Assistant Lighthouse keepers died in 1899 swimming at the nearby beach. Corny Point Beach was beautiful. A little cove accessed by our new 4wd, we spent the afternoon swimming in possibly the same area the Lighthouse keeper had drowned. We walked the entire length of the cove, sat on some rocks and prayed together, totally at peace with ourselves and all that had been created in this little cove. To add to our quest - we decided to collect a small rock and one shell from each beach directly below the lighthouses we visit. Dan found an interesting bone from a fish that he decided to keep. Note: Buy toilet paper and sanitizer for these remote trips!
