Boyd's Tower
Historical place
👍👍 Boyd's Tower is an interesting historical feature near Two Fold Bay. Originally built to be a light house (which never happened) it was used as a lookout for the Davidson Whaling station for many years. The exterior is still in good condition and, as you would expect, the views are worth the walk.
