Western Channel Pile Light

An active pile lighthouse off Georges Head in Sydney Harbour marking the western end of Sow and Pigs Reef. A white timber and concrete structure with a copper dome, it was designed to match the existing Eastern Channel Pile Light. It was constructed in 1924 to replace an earlier, smaller beacon that had in turn replaced a lightship in 1912.
