Guilderton Lighthouse

The Guilderton Lighthouse is the only major navigation light between Fremantle and Jurien Bay, and is also the last lighthouse to be built in Western Australia. The Guilderton Lighthouse is constructed from specially tapered red clay bricks in 1983. It stands 32 metres high and the base is 7.5 metres in diameter. The Guilderton Lighthouse was never manned. A fantastic online read of the Guilderton Lighthouse is available at www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/wa/Guilderton/Guilderton.htm
Lighthouses are a part of our history that we need to tell the stories to our children about. We may be a strange family, but everytime we go into the township of Guilerton in the Shire of Gingin, we always get excited to see the lighthouse from a distance. Be careful travelling closer to the lighthouse as the road is unmade. A spectacular site.
