Bruny Island Lighthouse
In 1804, the British colonists opened a second Australian penal colony in Hobart, at least partly to prevent further French interest in the area - see my previous image. HFF and have a great weekend everyone.
The following is from Wikipedia. "(this) is the second oldest extant lighthouse tower in Australia, as well as having the longest (158 years) history of being continuously manned. It was first lit in March 1838 and was eventually decommissioned on 6 August 1996.
The project was commissioned by Governor George Arthur in 1835 after a series of shipwrecks south of Bruny Island and construction began in April 1836. The lighthouse was built by convict labour using locally quarried dolerite over two years. When first lit in March 1838 it was Tasmania's third lighthouse and Australia's fourth."
There now is a new automated and solar powered light near the old lighthouse.
