The lighthouse, Caloundra's oldest building, that was saved from demolition 30 years ago by shifting it to Woorim Park at Golden beach, is being shifted back to its original location at Caloundra. However at the new location the lighthouse began to deteriorate rapidly and a movement made up of residents and the Caloundra City Council started working towards moving the old lighthouse back to its original location and fully restoring it.
A grant of $50,000 dollars was made and after 2 years a lease has been obtained over the original site. A new base has been put down and the light was moved from Woorim Park on the 22 March 1999. Tasmanian Lighthouses Offered for LeaseMartin G. Bennie of Port Macquarie, NSW, spotted this advertisement in the Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 27th March. It reads as follows;

Island Heritage Project Underway

Born 1955, Ararat Victoria, Australia Malcolm Macdonald developed the concept of the project and has followed through with its development. Has always believed that every thing he tackles should have a sense of adventure about it. He therefore has found it extremely difficult to hold down a regular job. His best achievement was a business called "Frankenwax & Candlestein" that after 11 years grew to be "Oz Cottage", manufacturing and distributing fragrant products to around 500 retail shops across Australia. He has also travelled extensively around Australia in an old Pioneer Express coach converted into a mobile home. When he is not working on the Lighthouses of Australia Project he is forced to pay some attention to his computer training business to pay the bills and put food on the table. |
A special page has been set up to include profiles on people who are consistent in their support for the Project. This can be found at <http://www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/About/Profiles.htm>.
