Designed by the NSW State Government Architect Charles Harding and built in 1901 from prefabricated concrete blocks the Cape Byron Lighthouse is one of Australia's most visited. There is a small free entry museum inside that has an excellent collection of memorabilia from both the lighthouse and Byron Bay.
I was shocked to read the front page of the Northern Star (the regional daily newspaper) about a horrific accident in the 1950's when a car reversed through the fence and plunged over cliff killing most of the occupants.
