There’s something visually reassuring about lighthouses. While a warning of danger from the sea, they are like a white sentinel of safety when viewed from onshore. This is Norah Head Lighthouse on the NSW Central Coast. You can stay in the lighthouse keepers’ cottages here, and what a view! #lighthouse #lovensw #centralcoastnsw @norahheadlighthouseHow gorgeous is this little Italian restaurant @achefsecrets on the waterfront at Berowra?

There are other stores in around NSW, Queensland and ACT so check out their website for details.

On loan from London, the exhibition closes on 28th January, so visit soon. @nhm_wpy @sea.museum #wildlifephotography #australiannationalmaritimemuseum #photographyexhibition- My Tweets
