Catalogue Note

The Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse is an icon of the Sydney Northern Beaches. Sydney residents and international visitors have been walking the steep track to the summit, to be rewarded with stunning views of Broken Bay.

Built in 1881 from sandstone quarried on site, the lighthouse, oil room and cottages are unique in that they retain in their original natural stone finish.

This was painted from the perspective of Palm Beach.
