Bruny Island Lighthouse

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.

HFF dear George. Pardon my silence. Will ring you soon. Have been (non-Covid) sick for 4.5 weeks with a cursed respiratory virus and infection, and have been rather flat and non- communicative. On thé mend, finally…
Love and big hugs…D

I take it by the way the lady in your shot seems to be holding on to her hat that it was a little windy there!

How many steps to the top? I bet the view was wonderful. The convicts might have been Scots, and this one might be based on the Stevenson model. ;-)

tiabunna club has replied to Amelia club
I'm sorry, Amelia, I can't answer your query re the steps. The link in my reply to the other lighthouse image should cover your other questions. Convicts in what then (1830s) was Van Diemen's Land were from across the British Isles, though relatively fewer were Scottish
