Water Wheel

Augusta WA

The water wheel was built to power a hydraulic ram, which would pump water to supply the lighthouse and keepers' cottages. It quickly became encrusted with a coating of limestone and is now frozen in rock. Know before you go and check for alerts, emergency incidents and road/park closures in park.
