The Lighthouse change-up

A few blogs ago i was talking about the lighthouse in Point Cartwright, well another lil fact is it wasnt the original lighthouse on the coastline. The original lighthouse was located in caloundra, 15km's away from Point Cartwright and still stands today, the reason is at the time the caloundra lighthouse was used as the beacon for ships letting them now they were close to the port in brisbane, but then the town of Caloundra had a boom and so as the buildings went up, the council folk believed that the lighthouse was no longer effective and decided that the location wasnt suitable and so they moved it to Point Cartwright.
