Granite boulder split in half near Glen Innes, NSW.
This type of splitting or weathering usually occurs in this area through the ingress of moisture/water into cracks at the top of the boulder. Because it is a very cold area in winter, the water freezes and expands and this cycle repeated over and over during eons eventually opens up the cracks larger and larger, each time to a bit more water and then a bit more expansion as the water freezes. In time, it just goes snap. This type of weathering is not uncommon in granite regions like this.

The original British-made first order Fresnel lens is still in use. However, the factory in Birmingham, where the lens was built, was bombed during war-time and the essential formula for making the unique lens crystal were lost, should a replacement ever be needed..

A Japanese firm, consulted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, estimated the cost of replacing the lens at more than A$1 million..

Under standard Australian lighthouse convention, red filters would usually be placed to the extreme left and right of the beam (indicating "danger zones" for a passing ship, in-line with the jagged coastline). For reasons unknown, the Split Point Lighthouse operated for many years under the opposite system; although this has now been corrected. Split point lighthouse has 132 stairs from bottom to top and is 34 metres tall.
