ON THE banks of the Wairoa River beside the town centre is what used to be the Portland Island Lighthouse.

A new automated lighthouse was built replacing this one, so it was moved here in 1961. The lighthouse somehow survived the massive flooding of Cylcone Bola that washed away the nearby highway bridge in 1988.

The lighthouse continues to be fully operational with its light working every night.
