The next stop south of Augusta is the Antarctic. Augusta is a small town with lots to see and do.
This petrified waterwheel was built to power a hydraulic ram, which pumped water from the nearby swamp to supply the lighthouse and keepers' cottages. It quickly became encrusted with a coating of limestone and is now frozen in rock. Water from the spring still flows through the sluiceway, with the high calcium content protecting this historic feature from the ravages of ageing.
Maintenance is being done on the lighthouse
I love this beautiful house that is situated a cross from a beach park.
