Restored Akaroa Lighthouse.
Author
Bernard Spragg. NZ from Christchurch, New Zealand
A howling southerly blows, conditions that once demanded a lighthouse to guide seafarers safely through a harbour entrance.
It is just a breeze compared with weathers encountered when the lighthouse stood on its original position, Akaroa's harbour heads. During its construction the framework was blown over. Starting over, heavy ballast was loaded into each timber wall. Materials arrived by sea and were hauled up a cliff-edge gantry.Camera location | View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap |
