After
months of heritage landscaping, the day visitor area at Barrenjoey Headland
is a safer, more inviting destination for day trippers. Take the climb
up to the summit on a Sunday and enjoy a lighthouse
tour and a picnic with priceless views of Palm Beach and the Central Coast.
Tracks
before and after
From the lighthouse visitors can see the improvements. Weeds have
been removed from the summit and replaced with native shrubs and
grasses, and tracks are now clearly defined to make the access
safer for both walkers and vegetation. Photos:

Early
in 2005 the National Parks & Wildlife Service celebrated the
completion of the landscaping works at the lighthouse. Amongst
the guest were representatives of the local council, the Royal
Navy and the Foundation.

Even during the construction and landscaping works the lookout
offered an ideal picnic spot with splendid views across the
water to the Central Coast.

For
the lookout's neat makeover sandstone walls were build by hand
from local sandstone.
