The 3rd full weekend in August is International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend. It was started by John Forsyth & Mike Dalrymple of Scotland. They were members of an Amateur Radio group. Radio stations are set up near lighthouses for the weekend for the public to see and maybe use. The objective of the event is to promote public awareness of lighthouses & lightships and their need for preservation and restoration. 54 countries are now participating and it was on here in Warrnambool for the weekend. This view of the lighthouse was taken from the delightful "Pippies by the Bay" restaraunt, where I just had to go for a coffee :)
