Brittany Higgins' partner David Sharaz proposes at Byron Bay lighthouse with ... trends now
Pictures reveal Brittany Higgins' new fiancé covered the inside of Australia's best-known lighthouse with rose petals and candles for his romantic proposal.
David Shiraz, 29, popped the question to the former Liberal Party staffer at the top of Byron Bay lighthouse at sunset on Saturday.
Ms Higgins, 28, arrived at the landmark accompanied by a close friend and wore a black cocktail dress and sandy-coloured heels as she climbed the flight of stairs dotted with pictures of the couple in happy times.
At the top, a waiting Mr Shiraz swept Ms Higgins off her feet with bouquet of red roses as he got down on one knee and presented her with a sparkling diamond ring.

Ms Higgin's accepted and the pair sealed their engagement with a passionate kiss as the former press gallery journalist now working at Southern Cross Austereo, got back to his feet.
The Byron Bay lighthouse is famous for being situated on Australia's most easterly point - getting some of the the first rays of sunshine at dawn and spectacular afternoon sunsets.
Mr Shiraz dressed in a snappy cream blazer and jeans made his way down the steps with his bride-to-be, as they were congratulated by waiting friends and family.
The gang then travelled into Byron Bay where they popped the champagne and celebrated with a large group into the New Year.
The engagement signals a new beginning for Ms Higgins who just two weeks ago reached a confidential settlement
