Perched atop Point Danger, the Captain Cook Memorial and Lighthouse stands as a beacon of history and culture on the NSW-QLD border. Originally constructed in 1971 to commemorate Captain James Cook's 200th anniversary voyage, the lighthouse underwent a significant $6.5 million upgrade completed in July 2024. The revitalized facility now features a café named Black Dingo, offering panoramic views of the Tweed River and Gold Coast skyline. The site also houses the Marine Rescue NSW operations center, ensuring maritime safety. Indigenous artist Christine Slabb's artworks adorn the space, reflecting the area's rich cultural heritage. Accessible to all, the lighthouse invites visitors to explore its history and enjoy its stunning vistas.
