PERHAPS BEGIN THIS TOUR SITTING ON THE STEPS LEADING UP TO THE TOWER... LOOK... at the tower: • Observe how it “grows” from the rock... • Appreciate its proportions suggesting strength, durability and watchfulness. • Notice the courses of blocks, the windows, the overhangs, the balcony and the lantern room at the top. CONSIDER... This Lighthouse has been operating continuously since 1881 - staffed until September 1986, and then automatically since 1986. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) now maintains the tower and light, totally funded by the shipping and insurance industries. GUIDE TO YOUR TOUR SIGNIFICANT DATES: 1873 Decision for a “First Order, Fixed and Flashing Light” on Montague Island 1877 Monies allocated within NSW budget – James Barnet, Colonial Architect, designs the lighthouse and buildings. 1878 – October Tenders let – Musson and Co wins the tender. 1879 – June?
