Beecroft Weapons Range, Jervis Bay

We went a run out to the Dept of Defence's Beecroft Weapons Range. This covers around 4,200 hectares of the Beecroft Peninsula (the northern headland of Jervis Bay. The range is used for defence training since thec1800's. We got caught up in a queue of pre weekend campers heading out the Peninsula to one of the many camping areas open for the weekend (normally out of bounds). We headed the 10 kilometres down to Point Perpendicular Lighthouse. Dating from 1898, the lighthouse is one of the most distinctive landmarks. It was decommissioned in 1993. It's a lovely spot and a lovely lighthouse. There is a current renovation being carried out on the surrounding buildings.Read more
