Exmouth Lighthouse lookout
A place to oversee the peninsular of
Exmouth
This lighthouse situates on
a quite high hill at the tip of the peninsular of Exmouth. It offers a very
tremendous panorama view, including the landscape, the coast line, the
ocean, the wonderful army base's antenna, and the Cape Range mountain chain
as well. The lighthouse itself has been nearly 100 years of history, in 2000
it became a protected heritage building officially.
There is also a military
radar built in the 50's, once used for detecting invasion of the Japanese
aircrafts back in the World War II. Bags of sand around it had become steady
stone; very incredible to see the things used for the war from the history.
Interestingly the dish of the radar was blown off by a cyclone in the 60's.
The radar is impressively still in fine condition.

The map of the Exmouth
Peninsular. The tip of it is where our camp site situate. The area in
green is the scope of The Cape Range National Park. It would be no way
to get there on our feet. |

Beautiful. Northern side
of the panorama view. The beach you see here is extremely dangerous,
quick wave, spiky rock, windy, totally not suitable for swimming at
all. |
The village down there
was where the caravan park situate, we stayed for a few days in Exmouth.
It looks fine, in the middle of nature, but provides horrible
facilities, and far from any central shopping area especially we had no
car throughout the days. |
Taken along the way up
to the hill of the lighthouse. This lighthouse is no functioning, now is
only a tourist spot for the tourists like us. |

This 100 years old
building still reminds in good condition, throughout salty wind blowing
and time go by. |
Stupid pic......
But anyway, it was so
windy as you can't possibly imagine from looking at this photo, i was
almost blown off the platform by blasting wind. |
Not a small construction
as you can see. |

Now you can see how much
do i want to visit the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy! |
This is what i talk
about, the military radar. Those are the sand dune beside. I once saw a
crazy jerk climbed up under the top of it. geess. |
These are all the things
placed on the hill. |

That big arch was
brought from a wrecked cruise around the peninsular. Really hard and
heavy metal. Interesting. |
Sun is setting. |
That's my camera's
cover, don't worry. The scenery is so impressive. Felt like looking down
from an aeroplane. |

Look carefully, you
would see there are a dozen of huge antenna; they are built for military
use. It's where a military base located. Entering seriously prohibited. |
I was expecting there
would be some UFOs landing over there. You would be awed by the whole
construction; 14 antenna (i counted it) connected each other with giant
rope, creating a mesh, and the height, well, it'd amaze you whether you
were in the outback or not. Looks like no shorter than any city's
building. |
The inland of the
peninsular. While i was looking at that view, i was thinking..."How many
kangaroos are out there?" |

Barely see the way to
the Cape Range National Park. |
Bush and beach,
altogether side by side in harmony, inspiring Australia. |

Sunset always make
anything more beautiful. |
The beautiful bit about
sunset is that, the colour of the sky. From the horizontal line on your
left, and see it to the right, the trend is so enjoyable. |
