The Tasman Island Lighthouse is on Tasman Island off the coast of south-eastern Tasmania, Australia. It was one of the most isolated lighthouses in Australia. It was built in 1906, automated in 1976 and demanned in 1977.
The components of the cast iron lighthouse were prefabricated in England and hauled piece by piece up the 250 metre high cliffs before assembly. The island is now part of the Tasman National Park. The lighthouse and associated structures, such as the keepers’ cottages, are listed on Australia’s Register of the National Estate. The original first order Fresnel lens by Chance Brothers can be seen on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, the original lantern is stored at the Maritime Museum of Tasmania in Hobart.
