A Different-looking Lighthouse


This does not look like an ordinary lighthouse. The top bit with the lamp looks normal but it is mounted on top of a big steel pipe. The pipe is just wide enough for people to climb up inside it on a very tight and steep staircase. The pipe has lots of bracing legs and struts and things that look like they would be a great climbing frame for small bears. Naturally the lighthouse is locked away behind a security fence to keep small bears out. You can see this lighthouse just off the main road between Rosebud and McCrae in Victoria. It is the main eastern light marking the shipping channels in Port Phillip Bay.
