Taiaroa Head Lighthouse Otago Peninsula
Taiaroa Head Lighthouse Otago Peninsula
As you make your way around the point into the harbour of the Otago Peninsula off the South Island of New Zealand, you will come across the Taiaroa Head Lighthouse that sits high on a steep rock cliff.
Back in the 1850's many ships that sailed the waters of the Otago Peninsula would search for the entrance of the harbour for many days and it was finally decided that a lighthouse was needed at this point.
A light was found for this point and brought to the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand in 1863 and in 1865, after two years of planning and construction the light was lit in the Taiaroa Head Lighthouse. Original public domain image from Flickr
