Cape Byron Lighthouse
This historic building, which lies on the most easterly point of Australia, is a must on your next trip to Byron.
Overview
The Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most easterly point of Australia and a necessary part of any trip to Byron. It was operated by resident keepers until 1989, but now has an automated light that's visible from town. The site booms during whale season, when the migration is caught in action from this great vantage point. Apart from whales, dolphins and turtles also migrate through this way and are regularly spotted from the cape. For history around the site and the migration, the Maritime Museum is open 10am to 4pm daily and is well worth a visit.
