Tasman Island Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Tasman Island, Tasmania, Australia.
Tasman Island Lighthouse is a cylindrical white tower standing on a rocky promontory off Tasmania's southeastern coast. The structure rises from steep cliffs and overlooks the turbulent waters below that have challenged ships for centuries.
The lighthouse was built in 1906 using cast iron segments manufactured in England to guide vessels through the dangerous waters off southeastern Tasmania. It served keepers for decades until automation arrived in 1976.
The structure represents Tasmania's maritime heritage, with former keepers' quarters and the original Fresnel lens now displayed at the Australian National Maritime Museum.
The location is normally reached by boat, as the island is isolated and surrounded by rough waters. Visitors should prepare for rough seas and changeable weather conditions.
The island hosts a massive breeding colony of fairy prions that nest among the cliffs and fill the site with their calls during nesting season. These seabirds are so numerous that they form an integral part of the island's natural character.
