A Beacon of Light

By: Phoenix Arrien

Tomorrow and over the weekend, the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse will celebrate International Lighthouse Day.

Located on the southwest coast of Western Australia, it is still a working lighthouse today. Cape Leeuwin will also celebrate 100 years of uninterrupted meteorological surveillance - longest for any lighthouse in Australia, making its records a fascinating case study for climate change scientists.

Celebrations will begin tomorrow and end on the Sunday with guest speakers from the bureau of meteorology and old lighthouse keepers. It will be an incredible weekend of stories, history and the elements!
