International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend

Cleveland Point reserve showing the lighthouse

The ILLW will soon be upon us. We will take part in this year’s event that BDARS has been a part of for many years. We’ll continue this tradition by taking part on Sunday August 17th from Cleveland Point (near the lighthouse).

It is not a contest, just a very relaxing day talking to as many other lighthouses and ham radio stations as possible.
Of course, will be close to the Cleveland Point Lighthouse. We will be directly opposite the Restaurant car park.

  • Location Cleveland Point
  • Setup time 7am
  • Lighthouse Nr AU0014
  • Call Sign VK4BAR
  • Locator QG62pl
  • Start time As soon as we are set up. The event starts on Saturday.
  • Pull down time Starts at 4pm
  • Finish time 5pm

This is a great club social event, a great way to recharge those inner Ham Radio hobby batteries.


There is the Fish and Chip kiosk at the front of the restaurant,
Public toilets are available as well as restaurant ones.


As well as operating and socializing it would really help to have people there for the setup and pull down.

You are invited! Organiser Colin VK4ZPU will be pleased to hear from you if you want to join in or if you need more information. Contact Colin directly or through email: secretary@bdars.org.au
