Old photos of South Australia. 1920s. Cape Northumberland Lighthouse.

The Cape Northumberland Lighthouse near Port MacDonnell was built to replace the earlier lighthouse that was under threat of being undermined by the erosion of the the cliffs on which it stood.

This one was built in 1882. This photo is from the 1920s when Auntie Dulcie visited this area. It's from her personal album. The lighthouse was then powered by kerosine.

Please don't use this photo without asking.
