this was Waipapa Point lighthouse...it looks so sad and uncared for...but that is partly because it is wooden! wow! Nasty barbed-wire fence makes it look even less pretty but keeps it does still work! It has been standing here protecting sailors since 1884 and is now solar powered. The last lighthouse keeper was withdrawn in 1976 :o(

I'm having trouble remembering, which lighthouse number is this???? number 50?? ;-p but we have stopped at a fair few, but even I've got to admit there is something kinda special about these old buildings and the stories they could tell.
