In class we read a journal story about Bean Rock in Auckland, NZ. We then answered the questions In the answer sheet below. The Bean Rock light-house is the only wave washed light-house in the whole New Zealand. Bean Rock uses solar charged batteries for the light.

Light-houses are made to keep away ships from dangerous rocks or reefs. Light-house keepers keep fit by walking or jogging around the veranda, taking about thirty five steps each circuit.
