  • Signal Station
    YOUR VIRTUAL DISCOVERY VISIT – 48 TO THE HERITAGE STORIES OF ROTTNEST ISLAND The Virtual Visit series was initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic when Rottnest Island was closed to the public due to social distancing restrictions and periods of use for quarantine from March to June 2020. Now that the Island is again open to visitors, these Virtual Visits are continuing in 2021 to enable a further enjoyment of stories introduced at the Wadjemup Museum, the Chapman Archives or sites around the Island. Enjoy, reflect and share. SITE EVOLUTION – WADJEMUP HILL SIGNAL STATION When the last pilot left Rottnest Island in 1903, a continuous record of more than 55 years of piloting ended. A new system was established with a signal station set up near Bathurst Lighthouse for the Fremantle Harbour Trust. The intent was for this station to observe requests for pilots from incoming vessels. Once a vessel was sighted, the news was telephoned to the lighthouse in Fremantle and the new, steam- powered pilot boat dispatched from there. Time Ball and Lighthouse at Arthur Head, Fremantle The Bathurst location proved adequate for vessels approaching from the North, but the topography of the Island prevented adequate observation for vessels approaching from the South. This was shown on the evening of 21 November 1903 when the barque River Indus stood of the Island by the South Passage. In the morning, when no pilot had appeared, the River Indus proceeded through the South Passage without a pilot. She struck a reef but without serious damage and docked at Fremantle. As a result of this incident, the Signal Station was dismantled in 1904 and re-erected near Wadjemup lighthouse in a location which offered 360 degree visibility.
