A reef called “The Bull” , situated about 800m to the North East, was difficult to see, particularly at night.

 

In the early 1900's it was decided to build a lighthouse at Norah Head. It was completed in 1903 and is in the Barnet style.  It has a bluestone balcony and the bases are concrete. The towers are of preformed blocks that were cemented in place and rendered with concrete.

 

The concrete blocks are made from local sand.

 

A new jetty was built to transport building material for the lighthouse; much of which fabricated in England.
