Beacons by the Sea: Stories of Australian Lighthouses

The Beacons By The Sea: Stories of Australian Lighthouses touring exhibition presented by the National Archives of Australia finished its show at the Bundaberg Arts Centre on 16 July 2006. It will open at the Gladstone Regional Art Gallery and Museum on 16 August 2006, and will be on show until 28 October 2006.

Lighthouses are unique, romantic, and an intimate part of Australia's maritime heritage. They have inspired and are admired by many.

Beacons by The Sea presents a collection of records, photographs and memorabilia of lighthouses and their keepers from the late 1800s to the 1970s, whilst highlighting the role of lighthouses from the most obvious, guiding ships; to their less well-known part in the unification of Australia under Federation.
