NORAH HEAD LIGHTHOUSE

Norah Head Lighthouse is located halfway between the townships of The Entrance and Budgewoi
at Latitude 33 degrees 16' 46" south, Longitude 151 degrees 34' 00" East, on the stretch of the
NSW coastline known as the Central Coast.

Built in 1903, Norah Head Lighthouse was the last manned lighthouse built in the State and the
last major colonial lightstation constructed in NSW before ownership and control of Australian coastal lights was passed to the Commonwealth. The Lighthouse and the Lighthouse Keepers Cottages are heritage listed and restorations have kept the original feel of the cottages.

Tours of the lighthouse are available and accommodation in the Lighthouse Keepers Quarters
can be booked so that you too can experience the life of a Lighthouse Keeper. You can also hire
the grounds of the lighthouse for your special wedding.

In the area surrounding the Lighthouse there is a viewing platform for whale watching during the whale migration seasons - northwards in the Autumn and southwards in the Spring.
