Statement of Significance

Lightstation group consisting of 60 ft tower (1846-8); headkeeper's and assistants' quarters (1857-8) and storerooms (1848-57); together with a detached former telegraph station (1859); all constructed of Parker River sandstone. The oldest remaining light, and the second to be established on the Australian mainland, the relatively short tower is set on a high cliff, whilst the keeper's quarters shelter well back in a slight hollow. The stone stair of the tower spirals around a hollow stone central column.
