Nelson Head Inner Lighthouse

This lighthouse was erected on Nelson Head in 1872. It was originally powered by four kerosene lamps.

The kerosene lamps were upgraded to an electric lamp in 1946 and electronic control in 1984. The electronic control eliminated the need for a manned lighthouse.

The last upgrade to the Nelson Head Inner Lighthouse was in 1995 when a solar powered occulting white and red sector light was installed.

The lightkeepers house is attached to the light room and was built in 1875 for the original keeper William Glover. His son Frances was later the keeper of the Outer Light.

A trust was established in 1986 to restore the Inner Lighthouse and cottage, and since then has become a major tourist attraction for Port Stephens and is now heritage listed. The views from the lighthouse are panoramic and stunning.
