Iron Pot Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in South Arm, Tasmania.
The Iron Pot Lighthouse stands 11 meters tall with a white tower structure and features a distinctive red horizontal band at its top section.
Built in 1832 using convict labor, the Iron Pot Lighthouse holds the position of oldest lighthouse in Tasmania and the first to use locally manufactured optics.
The lighthouse keeper's residence, constructed in 1884, included a dedicated classroom space for educating the keeper's seven children in this remote location.
The lighthouse operates with solar power technology since 1977, maintaining a visibility range of 11 nautical miles to guide vessels entering the Derwent River.
The location's magnetic properties, discovered by Matthew Flinders in 1798, caused compass disruptions, leading to the essential construction of this navigation aid.
