Lighthouse

In 1884, the adjacent colonies of Tasmania and Victoria were discussing the erection of a lighthouse at Eddystone Point, which was eventually built. The lighthouse and keepers cottages are made of granite, quarried from nearby. Head of works and head mason was James Galloway from Glasgow, Scotland, who migrated to Tasmania to oversee the building program. His brother, Alexander Galloway also migrated from Glasgow to work on the building of the lighthouse and cottages.
