Australia’s oldest lighthouse stands in Sydney.

Governor Macquarie ordered it built in 1816, designed by Francis Greenway, a convict architect serving time for forgery.
The foundations crumbled and it was rebuilt in the 1880s, this time to closely resemble Greenway’s original design.

It’s been the longest continuously operating lighthouse site in Australia since 1794, and it’s still fully operational today.

1964: Breaking barriers on and off the field: The story of Percy Hobson!

At the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth, a 20-year-old Kamilaroi man named Percy Hobson made history by clearing 6 feet 8 inches in the high jump - becoming the first Indigenous Australian to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal!

Just two years later, in 1964, his incredible athletic talent qualified him as a prominent figure representing Australia on the world stage, inspiring generations of First Nations athletes who followed.

Known affectionately as "The Boy from Bourke," Percy's triumph remains a proud highlight of Australian sporting history.
