  • Lemon Rock - Cape Forestier - Cape Tourville
    Lemon Rock - Cape Forestier - Cape Tourville Erika Shankley Lemon Rock, Cape Forestier Photo: AMSA Cape Tourville light, established 17 November 1971 Photo: AMS One of the very first lights built by the fledgling Commonwealth Lighthouse Service after it came into being in 1915 was erected in Tasmania on precipitous Lemon Rock, off Cape Forestier. In a letter to the Consolidated Light Board of Tasmania in April 1907, Captain J.L.B. Hunter, Master of the S.S. Durham, said that there were not sufficient lights on the East Cost of Tasmania. In his opinion, he said, “there should be a light in the vicinity of Cape Forestier, as it would be a great boon to vessels coming from Tasmania.”1 In fact, a light at this location had been one of the recommendations by Commander C.R.W. Brewis, R.N., in his Preliminary Report on the Lighting of the Coast of Tasmania and the Islands in Bass Strait to the Commonwealth Government in April 1912. At that time, he said that the ratio of lights per coastal mileage was one light to each 62.5 miles, whereas he recommended this be increased to one light for each 47.6 miles. Extracts from Preliminary Report on Lighting of the Coast of Tasmania and the Islands in Bass Strait with recommendations as to existing lights and additional lights by Commander C.R.W. Brewis R.N., April 1912 It was not until May 1914 that “As a result of representations by the Premier in March, the Prime Minister has informed that provision has been made for lighthouse works for the financial year 1914-15 for the erection of a lighthouse at Cape Forrestier [sic].
