Lighthouse is the second oldest city in the state, Founded in 1778 it was just two small towns, one around the lighthouse and the other on a nearby hill. In the year of 1937 an earthquake struck, destroying the light house, the barracks and the Cantebury Cape State Customs building. The re-building and restoration effort sparked an increase in immigration making the towns population increase from 950 in 1940 to over 40,000 by the mid 90's. The Central District of Lighthouse is small, yet has a substantial amount of office space. It still retains a historic character with the restoration of some of the lesser damaged buildings. Here's some photos of the downtown district and it's important buildings. Grand Mercure Resort: Lighthouse (Left) The Lighthouse Earthquake memorial (right) The Novotel Lighthouse Resort (Top Left) The Restored Customs building, now a hotel (Tall, Slender white building) The States oldest office and shopping precinct (small city block near park) And the Lighthouse base Hospital (North of the customs) which is the oldest hospital in the state. The Plaza in the park is where the Light house once stood. it was the tallest building in the state upon completion with a total height of 78 metres. Some Significant sites around the city area are The old and new Horsefields bay bridge. The Lighthouse Motorway, which passes through Bowen and Ararat. The Lighthouse Stadium. The Hawk bay town centre development, originally designed to give the Lighthouse are more much needed office space, it is now slowly killing the old CBD due to its high easy access and large developments. The old CBD. Overtime, more and more vacant lots are beginning to appear, the area to the east was once the states most influential suburb, now it is dead, with people moving closer to the Hawk Bay town centre for work.

Thanks, my next update will focus on another town, im thinking about doing it on a mountain town.

After 4 years of Construction the Steel mill is finally complete, This has brought growth to the town but one problem... there is no way for immigrants to get to Silverwater. Construction has begun on a landing point for vessels and a fishing marina. After a year the Marina was Complete and the Town's population exploded from 500 to 3000 residents here are some photos showing growth in the centre over time Things have changed since the mill was built, a rail line has been introduced running from the steel mill through the town and farmland all the way to the land west of Avondale. The towns growth has also been built over former farmland and local council, Silverwater Shire Council, has plans to expand the Town over the entire Narrow Peninsula. Creating a vibrant multicultured City with Waterfronts on both Avondale Harbour and Lake Elanora. Here is the town today.

Got called into work yesterday so i couldnt finish the update properly But i have enough to give you this quick update of Silverwater. After little growth for nearly a century Silverwater finally got a road link to the west coast provinces. this link was known as The Avondale Highway. After the Completion, Industry boomed for the small settlement. a small industral park was built nearby a few years later a massive steel mill was being planned, here is the construction site. This Mill will bring 1200 jobs to the settlement and many opportunities.

In the 18th century English explorers were sailing down the Pacific Ocean down the coast of a new land. Seas were heavy and storms were brutal, the sailors were forced to enter the mighty Avondale River's narrow mouth. When they entered the seemingly small waterway, they were stunned by the massive Harbour and nearby Lake. The weather soon cleared up and the sailors landed on the shore of a narrow Peninsula. They settled the area, naming the settlement "Silverwater" after the Harbours 'silver' coloured water during the storm. This is where the Region of Avondale's History started. The area where silverwater was founded: After the settlement began the first streets were layed down, quickly succeeded by the construction of homes: I will update again tomorrow.
