Boydtown Lighthouse

Boydtown Lighthouse, located near Eden in New South Wales, Australia, is a historic navigation aid established in 1847. Constructed from local brick and featuring a distinctive white and red striped design, the lighthouse stands on a hill to increase visibility for mariners navigating the often treacherous waters of Twofold Bay. It was named after Edward Boydt, a landowner influential in the area. Though automated and no longer staffed, Boydtown Lighthouse is a significant landmark, reflecting Australia’s maritime heritage and serving as a reminder of the essential role lighthouses have played in ensuring safe passage at sea.
