Tasman Island Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Tasman Island, Tasmania, Australia.
The cylindrical white lighthouse stands 29 meters tall on the edge of steep dolerite cliffs rising 280 meters above the Tasman Sea.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1906 from cast iron segments manufactured in England, guided vessels through southeastern Tasmania's dangerous waters until its automation 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 Vega VRB25 light system operates on solar power, flashing every 7.5 seconds with a range of 39 nautical miles and intensity of 63,000 candelas.
The lighthouse site harbors a colony of 300,000 to 700,000 fairy prion pairs, making it a primary breeding ground for these seabirds.
