I presume the current name takes it to be more a geographical feature than a town/suburb--Grahamec 13:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

I would like to add a short note in that my maternal great grandfather (William Arnold) was appointed to establish the first lighthouse at Fingal Head in 1872 and he and his wife (Henrietta Caroline Arnold) lived there with the traditional custodians for many years establishing a strong band with the local mob of the Minyangbal clan. King Comi was a particularly close friend I believe from my family history. Their wedding present was a water colour pen drawing by Lt. Cmdr. J. Gowland R.N. of the Schooner Edith where William Arnold served as a crew man during that first detailed European survey of the NSW coast line. Many stories emanated from that time and my late maternal grandmother was born in the house adjacent to the lighthouse,. The slab under that house remains there to this day and my late father panted the scene from that time. The photo in this thread shows my great grandfather on the steps of the lighthouse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.182.73.6 (talk • contribs)
