Elna and I did another lighthouse outing, this time to Barrenjoey Lighthouse in Palm Beach and it was a super day out. The lighthouse is high on the top of a rise, so quite a steep walk up but it's well worth it, spectacular with is sandstone walls.
Completed in 1881, the lighthouse was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and constructed from locally quarried sandstone. The tower stands approximately 18 metres high, with its light positioned about 113 metres above sea level, giving it a range of over 19 nautical miles. It remains an active aid to navigation, marking the entrance to Broken Bay, Pittwater, and the Hawkesbury River.
It was lovely to take in the atmosphere and get photos from multiple angles while Elna did her magic with her sketchbook.

Sun, sea, fresh air, swims, nice walk, doodles, coffees from the random German deli and seaside cafe, good chats… These are a few of my favourite things :). Thank you for a lovely day out.
