How odd! His name is Odd Dahl, and he went adventuring with a Roald. I guess Roald and Dahl are common Norwegian names.

Seems an unusual name 'Odd' though I guess that isn't the case in Norway. Really clear photograph, looks like it could have been taken yesterday. His wife is very lovely and is stylishly dressed even on expedition.

" The lighting apparatus at the time was described by the builder, Chance Brothers, of Birmingham as the most efficient in the world. It was electric in operation, with the power being produced by two De Meritens magnetos weighing two and a half tons. These were driven by an eight-horse power "Crossley - otto cycle" silent horizontal coal gas engine at 830 rpm. Only one of the de Meritens generators is still in existence: it is owned by the Powerhouse Museum and on display at the Lighthouse. Likewise the original switchboard is owned by the museum but installed the Lighthouse. The Museum have one of the arc lamps, but it is not on display at either venue. The electric apparatus was only used in bad weather. When the weather got really bad the second magneto was brought into operation producing a light of 6,000,000 candelas, the most powerful in the world at the time. In clear weather the illuminate was provided by a gas burner." More here - www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/nsw/Macquarie/Macquarie.htm#... c.1883

Thanks for adding in this background and history of the lighthouse.
beachcomber australia said:
I hope the Lighthouse and the Powerhouse Museum (who owns the engine) know about these wonderful pictures. I wonder if they are worth adding to the Wikipedia article - I am not sure how to do that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macquarie_Lighthouse

I would like to add your photo to my website Police Cars of Oregon. This is my own website I started years before there was flicker. I always give full credit to the photographer. Your photos would be a great addition to Police Cars of Oregon. Many thanks Todd

Probably would've saved more gas to take those patrol cars off the road! I'm guessing a 440 V8 with four-barrel carb, 3-speed auto with non-lockup torque converter and 4.11 gears -if you filled one with rocks and pushed it off a cliff with the engine off and the tank drained it would probably still get 8 mpg on the way down.
