For seafaring types, a lighthouse is something that you have to give a wide berth but you’ll want to be up close for this special national science week, Science in the Pub, featuring our popular blend of science, music, food and pub quiz with a fascinating presentation on the life of a modern lighthouse engineer!
Guest speaker Greg Hansen will describe some of the challenges he has experienced, the modern optic technologies adopted in historical lighthouses, and his work to enhance offshore assets resilience to large storm events. The presentation will also feature a short 10-minute film, the 1949 National Film Board classic, “The Lighthouse Keeper”, which is quite different from that new film!
This event is organised in association with Clean Energy for Eternity and supported by Inspiring Australia NSW. The admission fee of $10 will help cover costs and funds will go to Clean Energy for Eternity.
