Скачать или смотреть Most Easterly Point of the Australian Mainland, Cape Byron Lighthouse 4K

Cape Byron is the easternmost point of the mainland of Australia, located in New South Wales. It is about 3 km east of the town of Byron Bay, New South Wales and projects into the Pacific Ocean.
The cape was named by British explorer Captain James Cook, when he passed the area on 15 May 1770, to honour British explorer John Byron who circumnavigated the globe in HMS Dolphin from 1764 to 1766.
Built in 1901, the Cape Byron Lighthouse is the last of the great 19th-century Victorian era lighthouses managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). It is constructed from concrete blocks and stands on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland.
The light is one of the most powerful in the southern hemisphere and is reputed to be visible more than 40 kilometres out to sea.
