The final lighthouse of the year and the decade will be from the first continent to completely experience the New Year -- Australia. The lighthouse is the Bathurst lighthouse on Rottnest Island, off of Perth, Australia, a tourist draw.
The Lighthouse Directory has these statistics:
"1900. Active; focal plane 30 m (98 ft); four white flashes, separated by 3 s, every 16 s. 20 m (66 ft) round limestone tower with lantern and gallery, painted white. Two keeper's houses are available for overnight rental. ... The lighthouse originally served as the rear light of a range guiding ships departing Fremantle past the reefs east of Rottnest Island, but this range has been discontinued. Located on the northeast point of the island."The setting is a tropical beach, and it's tropically beautiful.
