Cape Bruny

Cape Bruny - Colonial architect John Lee Archer designed the 13-metre high Cape Bruny Lighthouse.  It was built from local stone and cost 2,500 pounds to build even though it was constructed using "free" convict labour.

The lighthouse was lit it 1838 and is the oldest continuously-manned lighthouse in Australia it was decommissioned in 1996, when it was replaced by a solar powered tower. The original parabolic reflectors used approximately half a litre of sperm (whale) oil every hour of use.

There is a camping ground near by at Jetty Beach with limited facilities.
