Description
Lighthouses of NSW - Warden Head Lighthouse
The lighthouse was built in 1873 and was originally located at the entrance to the harbour in the fishing town of Ulladulla on the NSW Coast.
These two lighthouses were unusual in New South Wales in that they were made of curved wrought-iron plates riveted together to form a shell, in the fashion of some Queensland, South Australian and Western Australian lighthouses.
Under James Barnet's direction the lighthouse was relocated to Ulladulla's south headland, Warden's Head, in 1889.
Height: 12 metres
Elevation: 34 metres
Pattern: Group Flashing 2 Every 10 Seconds
Range: 17 nautical miles / 28 km
Photo: Annette Flotwell
Fun fact: Originally built on the Ulladulla Breakwater in 1873, the light was shifted to Warden Head in 1879.

We were visiting the lighthouse for a GC cache and saw the nearby trig and thought oh I wonder if theres a GCA cache here 
Wow 3 caches here. 
Wow 3 caches here. This morning we headed on a drive from Bendalong Point to Lake Conjola to do some birdwatching, and on to Ulladulla to do some Trigs. Great views from here! TFTC
Passing through with geovan in tow, we stopped and snapped the required pic, which has been added to the gallery Rated: for Overall Experience

Out for a coffee with oldmorty in Milton when we decided to go find a few GA caches.
On our way home from Batemans Bay after a great 5 days caching, we managed another 10 trigs and a couple of virtuals today as we went....

A beautiful lighthouse that is very difficult to miss. Thanks for the cache Team MavetJu..
Having spent hours every day since mid March sitting at my computer logging Locationless caches, today I dcided to spend hours sitting in my car searching out trigs and maybe a virtual. I left Captains Flat earlyish and travelled via Braidwood, Nerrigah and down to the coast near Georges Basin. From there I headed south grabbing trigs along the way to Bateman's Bay and back up the Clyde Mountain to Home. Thanks for all the trigs Geocaching Australia. I will add notes that are pertinent to each trig if they stand out in my mind. I will have to add photos later to all logs as the photos are on my phone.

Some council work blocked the road to here, but a bush track from th3 car park offered a convenient detour.

Been here several times but didn't know the lighthouse is also a virtual as well as a trig. So snapped a shot of it while in the area.
A champ of a little lighthouse which could really do with some improved surroundings (a seat or two maybe? Where is a girl meant sit peacefully and drink her chocolate milk?). Found an angle to take the photo without the ugly power pole in the background.
Today we visited Ulladulla and whilst there went out to the lighthouse area. A photo of Mrs y'stassie at the Warden Head Lighthouse has been added to the Gallery. Thanks Team MavEtJu for the cache.
Walked around the fishing vessels then purchased some fish cocktails & ate them here. Took the required photo of the lighthouse, one I've visited a few times. No chance of any whales today as overcast & choppy but great waves at the protected beach just back a bit & heaps of surfers. Thanks Team MavEJu.

Wow!! Four caches, three of which are GCA, all within about 30 metres. It doesn't get much better than that!
Think you could do them all in less than a minute.
This lighthouse was a bit on the rusty side.
But the place was very busy with the whales passing. One muggle said a group of ten had passed about half an hour before we arrived. How lucky are we to be in this area, so far from home, at this special time of the year.
Thanks.

While on a weekend holiday on Ulladulla, Benjamin and I went for a drive to get a few caches. Despite a nearby DNF, this was obviously a very easy find. The architecture on the top of the platform is incredible! Lovely view up here, especially on a cool overcast day. TFTC Team MavEtJu!

Thought I had done this one already, but it was very well hidden behind another icon on the map! Think the lighthouse needs a paint job or a clean, but otherwise a great spot to come!

I went to Ulladulla recently and visited Warden Head. I had forgotten to obtain a photo of the Trig on my previous visit and also didn't have a nice photo of the lighthouse, so I came back to obtain better photos. It's pity it's poorly in condition at the moment. When here we were told there was a whale off the coast, but unfortunately we didn't see it. Thanks for the cache Team MavEtJu.
