Lighthouse
Landmark Refurbishment
If you have passed
the Taylor Street Tearooms
recently you may
have noticed a couple
of changes with the
lighthouse recently
undergoing a revamp,
courtesy of local painting
contractor Doug
Brown with financial support
from the Port.
The lighthouse was
built and installed in the
gardens in 2003 by
Port employee Andreas Maier.
The lighthouse was
built to honour local Esperance
fisherman and legend
Don Mackenzie, with both
the construction of
the gardens and the lighthouse
supported by the
Port with the welcome assistance
of locals such as
Doug.
This is the first
time since 2003 that the lighthouse
has seen a revamp
and we are pretty happy
with the final
product. If you look really carefully,
you will see that
there is also a new addition
– a mermaid to
watch over the gardens!
