Researching a story on lighthouses close to Auckland and we first went to Manukau Heads lighthouse through the dramatic scenery of Awhitu peninsula, then to the other side at Whatipu Beach. Both breathtaking, must-see places in Auckland.
Everyone I talk to about this article loves lighthouses. It’s one of those things where I thought I was the only one, nice to know others like them so much too. People seem to find comfort in the fact they can stay perfectly still and calm during the worst storms in the most dramatic locations. Benjamin Franklin went so far as to say: “Lighthouses are more important than churches.”
