Knock knock (no one’s home)

More of Crowdy Head Lighthouse. You’ve seen the cute little lighthouse but for those who may have missed the many posts staring the cutest lighthouse ever, let’s start with the lighthouse.

And now for the door. Not the original door I suspect as the lighthouse was built in 1878

For those interested in the plaque on the door.

The Crowdy Head Lighthouse is older than the 100 year plaque.
“In June 1911 the Lighthouses Act came into effect after an extensive report into the condition of existing state lighthouses and the need for more. On 1 July 1915 the Commonwealth officially accepted responsibility for all light stations around Australia.” The start of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Service

Crowdy Head lighthouse was built in 1878, automated in 1928 to run on acetylene, so knock and no one has been home since then in most cases. The last lighthouse keeper finished in 1997. Crowdy Head was converted to electricity in 1970 and LED fixed beacon in 2021.

CMMC March: Close-up or Macro

I found some old cars parked in the front of a property

Peeling bark on a branch

Fungi finding sunlight

A Common Crow Butterfly was flitting about

The Dragonfly was lovely enough to pose for a while

Sometimes out taking photos, it lovely to find good photos when I get home. Reminded me of Pavlos Dog’s song Gold Nuggets I’ll bring you home gold nuggets in the Spring
