The lighthouse was built on a rock outcrop in Sydney Harbour, and connected to Bradley's Head by an elevated footbridge. While the light was introduced in 1905 a fog siren was added in 1906, later modified in 1936. The 'sibling-look' similar design to Robertson Point Light was made more apparent in 1946 when the concrete structure introduced. It even has the same occulting green light (Oc.G. 3s) with a cycle of three seconds. It stands 6 metres (20') tall, with a range in the Harbour of 11km. [Some info from Wikipedia: (

"Bradley’s Head was named after William Bradley, an officer on the Sirius, guard ship of the First Fleet.
"In 1905, due to numerous accidents, a small lighthouse, was built at the tip of Bradley’s Head. It was the first precast concrete lighthouse in Australia." (

The unimproved track down to the foreshore to get the best look could be rated in geocaching as Terrain 2½.
