The postcard-perfect little community of Norris Point in Bonne Bay, Newfoundland on a splendid summer day. It wouldn't have taken much to convince me to buy a place there and never leave!

Point Wilson is a locality located on the northern shores of Corio Bay, Victoria. it is approximately 60 kilometres by road from Melbourne, and 25 kilometres by road from Geelong.
The locality is bounded by Pousties Road to the west, the Princes Freeway to the north west, Little River to the north east, and Corio Bay to the south.
Point Wilson is sparsely populated, and public access to the area is restricted due to the explosives facility located in the area. Other nearby land uses include the Murtcaim Wildlife Area and Melbourne Water's Western Treatment Plant.
Point Reyes Lighthouse is a lighthouse in the Gulf of the Farallones on Point Reyes in Point Reyes National Seashore, located in Marin County, California, United States.
Nash Point Lighthouse was designed and built by
Joseph Nelson being completed in 1832 to mark the
hazardous sandbanks off Nash Point, overlooking
the Bristol Channel. This followed the wrecking of
the passenger steamer Frolic on these sands in 1831,
with a heavy loss of life.
Two circular towers were built, each with massive walls and
a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37
metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres
high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights
to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high
light was painted with black and white stripes and the low
light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed
light which was either red or white depending on the
direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector
marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned circa 1925 and the high
light was modernised and painted white. In place of the
fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed
which gave a white and red group flashing, this was
removed in the automation of the station and replaced
with a rotating optic. Nash Point Lighthouse was the last
manned lighthouse in Wales. It was automated in 1998
with the keepers leaving for the last time on the 5 August.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the
Planning Centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex.
