of Cook's Point Danger."Cook's Point Danger" Geographical Names Board of NSW - ISBN o-7313-8831-3 Lighthouse The lighthouse/Cook Memorial was finished in 1971. It is an unusual modern style lighthouse and was the first in the world to experiment with lasers to increase its beam. The experiment was unsuccessful and it returned to conventional electric lamps. It emits a double white flash every ten seconds at a focal plane height of 44.5 metres. However, there are no reefs off, or running East from this point. The light is operated by NSW Maritime.
