    Cape Wickham Lighthouse 150th Anniversary Event Programme 3 – 7 November 2011 www.kingislandlight150.com A project of King Island Tourism Inc, King Island Council & the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Final Version 26 October 2011 The Story of the Lighthouse King Island‟s “Beacon of Bass Strait” is about to come-of-age! The Cape Wickham Lighthouse on the northernmost tip of King Island started service on 1st November 1861 – 150 years ago. King Island, located at the western entrance to Bass Strait, is an island rich in history with shipwrecks, lighthouses and jagged reefs. It is blessed with an abundance of long stretching sandy beaches and lush green pasture. From this little paradise are produced some of Australia's finest natural foods for which the Island is probably best known including grass fed beef, cheese, crayfish & abalone and yet there is more to this 64km long by 27km wide stretch of land than first meets the eye. The 48m tall Cape Wickham Lighthouse began operating 150 years ago on November 1st 1861 and has been in continuous operation since that first night providing - 150 years of saving lives. 150 years of guidance and direction for shipping 150 years of community capacity building 150 years of very unique history. Cape Wickham is at the northernmost tip of King Island and the 88km gap between Cape Otway (Victoria) and Cape Wickham was often a trap for the unwary Ship‟s Master seeking entry into Bass Strait. The Western entrance has become the graveyard to at least 18 ships nearing the end of their long voyages.

  • Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters

    Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters

    4 Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters Mark Staniforth In the nineteenth century the long sea voyage across thousands of miles of open ocean to Australia was a step into the unknown. International migration at this time usually involved travel by sea, as it had in previous centuries. Ships were the primary long distance transportation method and the movement of passengers was one of their most important functions. It has been estimated that more than 1.6 million immigrants travelled to Australia by ship between 1788 and 1900, nearly half of these people were assisted immigrants of one type or another and they came primarily from Great Britain with smaller numbers from Europe (Barrie 1989:121). In the popular imagination the ocean represented hazard and uncertainty - an alien environment in which the possibility of shipwreck loomed large. Passengers felt themselves to be at the mercy of the elements and being directly exposed to the extremes of the weather in a moving structure was a new and disconcerting experience. This fear of shipwreck can be seen in a letter from P. Harnett to his brother from Cape Town in 1832 who writes that: 'you and the family must have been frequently tormented by anxious hopes and fears of my safety or probably have heard that the vessel was wrecked and as a matter of course that I was lost' (Harnett 1832). In most respects shipwrecks, like other tragedies involving transportation, are civil or 'man made' disasters yet they also exhibit some of the 45 46 Disasters: Images and Contexts characteristics of natural disasters.l These include evoking in the victims feelings of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming natural forces and a timeframe which sometimes extends over a period of hours or even days.

Rosny Collections and Research Facility, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, GPO Box 1164, Hobart Tasmania 7001 (SG*); PO Box 683, Port Arthur Tasmania 7182 (RdL). *Author for correspondence. Email: [email protected] The findings of a week-long survey of coastal marine molluscs around King Island are documented. In total, 408 species were recorded, 78 for the first time. King Island appears to be the only Tasmanian outpost for 44 species. Only two non-native species were found. A number of usually distinct species-pairs or groups appear to form intergrades around King Island. Along the island’s east coast, beached shells belonging to Quaternary-era sub-fossils were found, not all of which are represented in the contemporary local fauna. Following critical examination of published sources and museum specimens, a checklist of King Island’s coastal marine mollusc fauna is presented, comprising 619 species. It is likely that many more local species await discovery and documentation. Key Words: Mollusca, King Island, Tasmania INTRODUCTION METHODS King Island sits in western Bass Strait at around 40°S and Field surveys and follow-up identification 144°E, and is a geographical outlier relative to the rest of Tasmania: it includes the westernmost shorelines in Tasmania, Twenty-one discrete localities were surveyed during 13–19 as well as some of the northernmost.

  • The Branding of King Island

    The Branding of King Island

    Khamis – Branding King Island GOURMET AND GREEN The branding of King Island SUSIE KHAMIS Macquarie University, Sydney <[email protected]> Abstract In less than thirty years, King Island – in Australia’s Bass Strait - has become popularly synonymous with quality foods and unspoilt beauty. The marketing success of King Island Dairy, in particular, has helped orient much of the island’s activities towards particular services and goods. They benefit from a general perception that, for reasons both coincidental and contrived, King Island is singularly blessed for premium produce. This article traces the rise this image, and considers its irony in light of the various vulnerabilities that have otherwise hindered King Island’s development. From the hazardous winds of the ‘Roaring 40s’, to the sporadic investment in its infrastructure, King Island’s history is dotted with obstacles and setbacks. In turn, it is argued that, insofar as the King Island brand now relies on certain associations for effectively marketing both its export commodities and its tourist attractions, islanders must address if not resolve a range of issues and/or inadequacies that undermine the brand’s integrity. Keywords King Island, food, branding, tourism Introduction In March 2007, luxury liner Orion set sail on its first ‘Gourmet Voyage of Tasmania’. The first of two such trips Orion had planned for the year, it centred on the west coast of Tasmania; the second, scheduled for December, concentrates on the east coast. The concept is simple enough: seven- days aboard Australia’s only five-star expedition ship, seeing and sampling the produce that has made Tasmania a favourite amongst gourmands.
