<b>Spectacular
2015
Lighthouses of Tasmania Calendar
an all Tasmanian production</b>
<i>Sentinel it stands upon projecting cape,
And guards the reefs along the ocean’s verge.
Starts into life a dim, gigantic shape,
Holding its lantern o’er the restless surge.
Arthur Frederick King, lightkeeper</i>
Building lighthouses around Tasmania’s precipitous and isolated coastline must have been a daunting prospect. Indeed, one newspaper correspondent wrote in 1891 that “the person who had suggested the construction of a light on the top [of Tasman Island] was not altogether compos mentis...”
The difficulty of access to Tasman Island continued to cause comment when two members of the Hobart Marine Board ... slipped and got a good ducking ... when attempting to make a site inspection. Later, prospective building contractors also discovered the problems they might encounter when “Some members of the party were unable to land, while those who succeeded ... were most forcibly impressed by the natural difficulties to be overcome in carrying out the contract.
Modern-day occupational health and safety legislators would, no doubt, cringe at some of the conditions workers endured.
These unique and spectacular structures are once again celebrated along with the people who built them. The latest edition of the Lighthouses of Tasmania calendar features stunning photographs of some of our iconic lighthouses. Images include lighthouses at Maatsuyker and Tasman Islands, Cape Bruny, Iron Pot, Eddystone Point, Low Head, Table Cape, Bluff Hill Point, Rocky Cape, Highfield Point and Cape Sorell. The historic lighthouse at Blinking Billy Point in Hobart and its replacement, the John Garrow light, are also featured.
Working in partnership with the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service, the dedicated Friends of Tasman Island volunteers carry out many hundreds of hours of work each year towards the conservation and preservation of the natural and cultural heritage of Tasman Island.
The 2015 calendar, the 9th in the series produced by the Friends of Tasman Island, is an all Tasmanian production. Thanks to sponsorship from the Cascade Brewery Company, Australian Maritime Systems and Wildcare Inc., the Lighthouses of Tasmania calendar is a major fundraiser.
Now a collectors’ item, the 2015 calendar is available in selected book shops, newsagents and other local stores round the State. Or you can secure your copy of this unique limited-edition calendar by emailing friendsoftasmanisland@gmail.com. For only $20 + postage you will be helping to support ongoing work on Tasman Island.

of lighthouses at Cape Bruny, Eddystone Point, Low Head, Mersey Bluff, Table

A visit to Tasman Island in 2005 with the Rotary Club of the Tasman Peninsula was the impetus to form the Friends of Tasman Island, Wildcare Inc.<br />
<br />
The lighthouse was automated in 1976 and the lightstation buildings abandoned when keepers were withdrawn in 1977. The buildings had now succumbed to time, the wind and weather and were in a sorry state, much in need of repair.<br />

Friends of Tasman Island (FoTI) meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month at the Derwent Sailing Squadron, Marieville Esplanade, Sandy Bay in Hobart, Tasmania.<br />
<br />
Volunteers hold working bees on Tasman Island several times a year, if funds permit and considerable progress has been made in restoration work on the lightstation buildings and the surrounding natural habitat.<br />
<br />

The Tasman Island lighthouse in
south eastern Tasmania is one of the highest operating lighthouses in Australia
and marks the final turning point for yachts in the Sydney-Hobart race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
island is separated from nearby Cape Pillar by the narrow Tasman Passage, which
is less than 500 metres wide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was one
of the more isolated lightstations and for many keepers, not a popular posting.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">History</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tasman Island lighthouse was the
last of the manned lights to be built in Tasmania.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A meeting of the Consolidated
Marine Board in August 1885 discussed the possibility of a lighthouse in the
vicinity of Cape Pillar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
discounting the Cape itself and nearby Hippolyte Rocks, a site inspection was
made to Tasman Island. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite a
recommendation in 1886 that construction should proceed, the proposal lapsed until
1903 when approval was, at last, given.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Plans were drawn up by Huckson
& Hutchison and a prefabricated cast-iron tower and 1<sup>st</sup> Order
lens manufactured by Chance Brothers of Birmingham was shipped out from
England.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The difficulties of working in
such a precipitous location were emphasised when two members of the Marine
Board fell in while attempting a landing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Despite this, builders Henriksen & Knutsen commenced construction in
January 1904.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The heavy cast-iron plates,
each weighing up to 13 cwt, took up to eight hours to reach the construction
site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were then bolted together and
positioned on a concrete base 7.601 metres (24 feet 11¼ inches) in diameter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Three keeper’s cottages were
built of solid brick, with sheds for wood and coal under the same roof for
protection from the wild weather. The total cost of construction was about
£22,000, a considerable sum in those days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first superintendent, George
Johnston with Assistants J. McGuire and E. Davis arrived on Tasman Island in
December 1905 and already had vegetable gardens growing by the time the light
was officially opened by the Master Warden, A.E. Risby on 2<sup>nd</sup> April
1906.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There were problems with the lamp
mantle which regularly fractured due to the degree of swaying at the top of the
tower in strong winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the night of
20<sup>th</sup> March 1907 the log reads:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The tower vibrated to such an
extent that it shook the mantles to pieces;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>had <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to substitute the wick-burner
at 2 a.m.’</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During another storm in
1919, verandahs and fences were blown away, water tanks blown off their stands
and out-buildings shifted off their foundations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The winds were so strong that the vibrations
in the lantern room destroyed five mantles and two pounds of mercury jumped out
of the race and had to be replaced.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
Once thickly forested, Tasman Island was soon almost bare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regularly,
each Saturday, a note in station logbooks records the Assistant’s duties as ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cutting firewood’</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As early as 1913, Station Superintendent, W.
Kirkwood, thought ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the effects of
denuding the island for a fuel supply’</i> was perhaps the reason for severe
storm damage at the lightstation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Towards
the end of the year he wrote:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blew whole gale last night – fierce squalls,
smashed up more fencing Superintendent’s quarters.’ </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Much of the island was grazed
with flocks of up to 500 sheep, cattle, pigs and goats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>However, stock regularly disappeared
down the various sink-holes and clefts on the island, never to be seen
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Today, the native vegetation is
returning with pockets of small trees and shrubs appearing in more sheltered
areas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Weather observations were
recorded in lightstation logbooks by the Head Keeper from 1906.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>O<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">fficial
observations for the Bureau of Meteorology did not commence till 1922 when daily
rainfall readings were taken, although a Bureau of Meteorology rain gauge was
not provided until September 1923.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An
automatic weather station (AWS) commenced operation on the island in 1991.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Access to such a remote lightstation
was difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seas were frequently too
rough for supply ships to approach the island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Landings were originally made on the north-west side of the island where
a track known as the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zigzag</i> was
built.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then a landing platform was
constructed on the more sheltered north-east corner of the island with a crane
operated by a steam-driven donkey engine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From there, twin trolleys were hauled, one up one down, negotiating the
1:1 slope with the aid of a Jelbart motor or alternatively a horse operating a
whim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, access to the island is
much easier by helicopter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kathleen Stanley describes in her
book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Guiding Lights</i>, the perilous
ride onto the island via a basket suspended from a flying fox:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 40.2pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘The good order of the basket in which
passengers were carried ashore was the responsibility of the keepers who were
well aware of the need for exemplary work in this regard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On one occasion only has it been reported
that the door failed to close – perhaps because of some slight misalignment or
perhaps because the operator was over-anxious to begin the transfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs E. Jacobs, the last passenger to embark
on one hazardous trip, made the journey half in and half out of the
contraption, grimly held on by one of the keepers inside.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 40.2pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 40.2pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In her nineties, Mrs Jacobs could smile at
the memory but there were some tense moments at the landing-stage until she was
delivered safely onto solid earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More
amazing than her perilous journey was the fact that she, with staunch
matter-of-factness, was not deterred from further rides in the basket.’</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For the first 20 years pigeons
provided a link with the Tasmanian mainland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, the birds were so well fed that they were often reluctant to
leave the island!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then in the 1930s,
wireless communications were established between lightstations at Cape Bruny
and Maatsuyker Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, the
introduction of a radio telephone further reduced the sense of isolation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
Because of the isolation, most women left the island to give
birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, in 1920 Nurse Cleary attended
the birth on the island of a daughter, Eileen, to Head Keeper Leslie B.
Johnston and his wife, Stella.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During the war years the job of
lightkeeping was considered a reserved occupation and keepers were not permitted
to enlist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Naval personnel were
stationed on the island, living in the Relief Keepers quarters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their leisure hours were spent in the garden which
soon had a colourful array of flowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 16.0cm; text-align: justify;">
In their remote location the keepers on Tasman Island were vulnerable
to infections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a visit to Hobart
by one keeper in October 1921, everyone on the station became ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Head Keeper was particularly
incapacitated and it was two weeks before an entry in the log book said:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All on
station been very ill with ‘flue’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>[sic]<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> but are now recovering.’</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 16.0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 16.0cm; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes this isolation could have dire consequences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In her book, Kathleen Stanley wrote:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 4.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Keepers and their families on
off-shore stations were always particularly susceptible to colds and influenza
since they were so isolated that they had little opportunity of acquiring
immunity.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 40.2pt; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 35.45pt; margin-right: 40.2pt; margin-top: 0cm; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">On one occasion a family with
several children arrived with severe colds but no medication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another keeper’s wife gave them her own
medication, only to see the newcomers recover and one of her own children die
of respiratory failure.’</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 4.75pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt; text-align: justify;">
A major accident occurred in 1927.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rigger, William Groombridge was killed and Joseph Patterson was seriously
injured when a crane, being installed on the landing, collapsed without warning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The body of the dead man was thrown into the
sea and never recovered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With no direct
communication with Hobart it took until the next day to get medical help for
the injured man and another day to get him to Hobart for treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 40.2pt; tab-stops: 446.55pt;">
However, unlike
many other Tasmanian lightstations, there are no European graves on the island.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For nearly 70 years the
lighthouse was lit by kerosene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Department of Transport conducted experiments with wind-power and in 1975 a
prototype was installed on Tasman Island, though still backed up by two diesel
generators.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The original lantern room, lens
and clockwork mechanism were dismantled and removed when the light was
automated in 1976 and the last keeper left the lightstation on 20 May
1977.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since then the Australian Maritime
Safety Authority and its contractor, Australian Maritime Systems Ltd, has
maintained and serviced the light which was converted to solar power in 1991.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 68.25pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -36.0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">From
1915, management of lighthouses was transferred to the Commonwealth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>In 1980 the Tasman Island lightstation
was added to the Register of the National Estate as well as the Tasmanian
Heritage Register and in 2004 the lighthouse was added to the Commonwealth
Heritage register. </div>

After a lot of planning changes, FoTI's first working bee for 2013 finally got off to a start on Monday 4 March. All ten volunteers flew from Cambridge in Helicopter Resources' 12-seater Sikorsky
helicopter. After our supplies and materials had arrived from Safety
Cove, we settled into our accommodation, split between Quarters 3 & 2, and were soon able to start our programme of work. </div>

Like most lightstations, there is plenty of grass on Tasman Island which needs mowing. Our last working bee had been 6 months previously - August 2012. A familiarisation walk around the lightstation precinct was hampered by long grass so it wasn't long before the rumble of the mower and whine of both brushcutters filled the air. </div>

However, it was not all work and no play! During excursions around the island
we saw a number of birds, including Black Cockatoo, New Holland Honeyeater, Silvereye, Forest Raven, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, quail
and occasionally heard a Lewins Rail. <br />

Looking after the well-being of our 10 volunteers is a huge job and it was thanks to Glenda Fehlberg and her off-sider, Elaine Bell, that we were all more than well fed. Hooters 5-star restaurant lived up to its reputation! Elaine's mother, Eileen, grand-daughter of Tasman's first lighthouse superintendent George Johnston, was born on Tasman Island on 6 March 1920 - a good reason for a celebratory cake!</div>

The busy week culminated with the March Long weekend. The numbers of people on the island increased dramatically with the arrival of five canoists. By this time the weather had changed - thick fog rolling in from Cape Pillar and visibility down to just a few metres.<br />

Organising each working bee takes a lot of time and effort. As usual we appreciated the assistance of our partners, the Parks & Wildlife Service, particularly Stuart Dudgeon, Mike Copping & Nick Whitely. Thanks also to Helicopter Resources chief pilot, Simon Taylor & his offsiders for getting us safely on and off Tasman Island and to Ron Fehlberg who delivered our fresh supplies to Taranna.<br />
<br />
Fog delayed our departure by 24 hours! The effort put into the restoration and rehabilitation of Tasman Island and its lightstation is tremendous. A big thank you to the team of volunteers - the success of the working bee was due to your support and enthusiasm!<br />
