Beacon Tower is an iconic landmark situated at the the top of 'The Hill' - an historic residential suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales. The two towers were used in the navigation of ships. The alignment of the two towers - one at the top of the Hill (in the painting) the other at the bottom (no longer existing) - directed light to create a near perfect navigational aid for ships.
