“Be sure to visit the grave of the first lighthouse keeper – it’s near the Lighthouse and gives you a sense of the history of the place.”\n\nBarrenjoey Lighthouse sits at Sydney’s most northern point – Barrenjoey Head at Palm Beach.\n\nPositioned 91m above sea level, the lighthouse can be reached by a couple of walks. Take the picturesque 1km walking track to the top, which is an easy walk offering outstanding views along the track. Or for those who are keen for a challenging short hike, take the Smugglers track to the top. Getting its name from the customs officers who built the track around 1850 to monitor any smugglers bringing contraband into Broken Bay, it now offers a steeper and shorter trek to the lighthouse.
