Parriwi Lighthouse, also known as Rosherville Light, has stood above Middle Harbour since 1911. The white concrete tower is still active, working with Grotto Point Lighthouse across the water to guide ships into Port Jackson. The tower is closed to the public, but you can wander the grounds for a closer look at its castle-like design and enjoy the beautiful views over Middle Harbour.
