South West Rocks is located on Trial Bay. The Bay was named after the brig Trial which was wrecked there in 1816 after it had been stolen by convicts who were attempting to escape to south-east Asia. When Captain Thomas Whyte found the wreck in 1817 there was no trace of the convicts and it was assumed they had all perished either starving or being killed by the local Aborigines. Reference
On the mid right if this image can be seen a Surf Boat Crew from South West Rocks Surf Club floating a surf boat down Saltwater Creek to the ocean. A few minutes later they launched the boat and rowed off up the beach as far as Trial Bay's Historic Gaol.
Opened in 1886 after 13 years of construction. It is in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. Prion labourers were there to construct a breakwater to make Trial Bay a safe harbour between Sydney and Brisbane. The scheme failed, but the remains of the breakwater can be seen from the guard tower lookout. During World War 1 the gaol became an interment camp for people feared to be enemy sympathisers.
Captain James Cook sighted & named Smoky Cape on Sunday 13 May 1770.
The first light was exhibited Sunday 15 April 1891.
The cost of the construction including the tower, optical apparatus, quarters & ancillary building amounted to £1600.
The light still operates with the original lens and lantern.

I liked the symmetry that this panoramic crop gave me.

This internment camp for German internees opened on 1 August 1915 at the site of the disused Trial Bay Gaol, near Kempsey. The prisoners were confined to the gaol surrounds but were mostly free to move around the site during the day. In this image you can see the beach huts and houses built by prisoners that were dotted along the beach in front of the gaol walls. In July 1918 all the internees were moved to Holsworthy Internment Camp in Sydney.

Beams from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse in the twilight sky, beaming out beside the stars of the Southern Cross and the Pointers (Alpha and Beta Centauri) below, rising into the southeast sky in the deepening blue twilight.
The Lighthouse is near South West Rocks on Trial Bay on the coast of NSW, Australia. The lighthouse has a pattern of three closely spaced beams followed by a longer gap. The lenses project three sets of three beams, one set shooting here toward the camera, and two others shooting away from the camera out to sea.

I had a window of about an hour between cloudbanks - the Aurora was quite strong, so fleeting glimpses were enough to keep me watching until the break was large enough to rattle off a few good images.
The Common Ringtail Possum is nocturnal and eats leaves of both native and introduced plants, as well as flowers and fruits. Interestingly by eating its own faecal pellets, so it can digest its food twice to extract the maximum amount of nutrients.
When the mother is feeding, the male carries the young on his back and cares for them. This behaviour of the males helping to care for the young is unique to the Common Ringtail Possum.

This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William J Hall collection. The Hall collection provides an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races.
The ANMM undertakes research and accepts public comments that enhance the information we hold about images in our collection. This record has been updated accordingly.

Following the "bling" of the Aurora Australis earlier in the evening, I went to Trial Bay to see what was happening with the lights there. Whilst not as spectacular as earlier, I felt that the gentle colours which spread across the sky looked extremely impressive, and the partial-moon lit up the jetty nicely.
