This is the RED marker on Henry Head, part of Cape Banks. This is the headland on the northern side of the entrance to Botany Bay, and is at the southern end of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. It is not a lighthouse, as such.
Depending on the datum used the light is either just north or just south of the 34° South line. Assuming the Maidenhead locator system (used by radio Amateurs, or Hams) is based on WGS-84, the light is in QF56oa and the cliff edges are in QF55ox.
Derived from my p(Y) GPS in:
WGS-84: Latitude is 33.9984 S (33° 59' 54.3" S) - Longitude is 151.2380 E (151° 14' 16.7" E)
AGD-84: Latitude is 34.0000 S (34° 00' 00.0" S) - Longitude is 151.23683 E (151° 14' 12.6" E)
