A collection of the few lighthouses we have visited and photographed in Australia over the years. The architecture and design of these beautiful old lighthouses and the landscapes they behold are just stunning. There is a fabulous website which lists all of the lighthouses in Australia and is a great reference for lighthouse lovers like me who wish to find out more about them and where to find them. http://www.lighthouses.org.au
