On this
picture you can see the lighthouse of Dunedin on the top of the
cliffs. Dunedin called by the Maoris Otepoti is considered as
the second largest city of the South island. Dunedin has a
population of over 100,000 and has a land area of over 3.000 km
square. The city is surrounded by the Otago Harbour. A
lighthouse is a tower constructed near a coastal area to help
navigation at sea. The tower often painted in white and red
color to be easily recognized by the boats is constructed often
on the top of a hill of cliffs near the coast. Nowadays most of
the lighthouses are automated which was not the case in the
past. A lighthouse is a big help to avoid ship wrecks. The
Nuggets Point is one the lighthouse found on the South Island in
Otago region. Lighthouses are found in a lot of different
countries that are located near the sea. A lighthouse has at
least one lighthouse keeper but as now most lighthouses are
automated only one keeper is needed. |
