Listed with the New Zeland Historic Places, overlooking the mouth of the Otago Harbour, the Taiaroa Head Lighthouse is one of the most iconic landmarks of the Otago Peninsula.  It is located on a cliff of Taiaroa Head, about 20 miles north east of Dunedin. Close by is the Royal Albatross Centre, which is the only place in the world where albatross nest near civilization.  The lighthouse was built in 1864, with a round, white stone tower and red latern roof.  This was taken near the Royal Albatross Centre.

Dunedin is situated at the head of Otago Harbour, a narrow inlet extending south-westward for some 15 miles. The harbour is a recent creation formed by the flooding of two river valleys.  From the time of its foundation in 1848, the city has spread slowly over the low-lying flats and nearby hills and across the isthmus to the slopes of the Otago Peninsula.
