Located just 33 kilometres north east of Taree on the Mid North Coast is the historic Crowdy Head Lighthouse which was designed and erected in 1878 – 1879 as one of only five small lighthouses built on the NSW coast. The information board provides extensive information about the history of the lighthouse. The panoramic views from the lighthouse are breathtaking. Looking north you can see beyond Diamond Head and the three brothers region (south, middle and north) which were named by Captain James Cook in 1770 as he sailed up the east coast. On a clear day you can see as far south as Seal Rocks. This is a great spot for a bit of whale watching. The whales migrate north to warmer waters during May – July and return during August – October to the rich southern feeding grounds in the Antarctic.
