Standing 76 metres above sea level, the 9.4 metre high stone tower of the Nugget Point Lighthouse still supports the original lens which was installed during its construction. The light was originally powered by oil when it was first lit in 1870 with lighthouse keepers tending to the point. It was not until 1989 when the lighthouse become automated that the keepers were no longer needed.
Nugget Point Lighthouse which receives its name through the small nugget like rocks which extend out from the point in the Catlins along the Southern Scenic Route on the East Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Both sides of the cliff are blanketed in greenery with a long walkway leading to the lighthouse.

The lighthouse was built in 1941 961 ft above sea level. - the last manned lighthouse to be built in New Zealand. It was automated in 1987 and the keeper was withdrawn. The flashing light is visible for 31 miles and guides shipping from Australia as it passes between the Three Kings and Cape Reinga. On the lighthouse reserve there is a radio beacon for shipping and the Cape has been an important weather-reporting station. Every year many thousands of photos are taken of the lighthouse and the signpost giving the direction to many places including London, Sydney, Tokyo, the Equator, Bluff, the South Pole, Vancouver, Los Angeles and the Tropic of Capricorn.

The next day we had enough of Wellington and headed to Cape Palliser, which is the most southern point of the North Island, as far as I know. Another special place.
