Theatres and concert halls of Australia
Few of the original grand cinema buildings erected in Australia in the 1920s and 1930s still stand. However, you can take a walk down memory lane on the theatres and concert halls trail and sigh over the decorative cornices, stuccoed parapets and theatre organs revived therein.

Lighthouses and beacons
Safeguarding the Australian coastline, lighthouses and beacons stand to attention, a distant memory of days when ships once navigated the shores by their lights.
