Gabo Island

Reiseguide

The lighthouse on Gabo Island guards the eastern entrance to Bass Strait in #Australia. It is an active navigation lighthouse and weather station for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
It was built in 1853 from red granite sourced on the island.  The wind blew down the windbreak wall, so buttresses were added for stability.
We went to the top for perfect 360 degree views on a blue sky day.
Access to the island is generally by boat and one can stay overnight!

Gabo Island Lighthouse Reserve is operated by Parks Victoria, who can be contacted for overnight stays in the Caretaker's accommodation.
Chance Brothers & Co. - Lighthouse Engineers & Constructors from near Birmingham, England commenced building the lighthouse in 1860.
I was fascinated by the local red granite, which is said to be the second hardest granite in the world.

The place was really cute and overall well appointed. Really needed a dish towel in the kitchen, or paper towels (something) so that I could dry the dishes that I used after washing. The yard itself was private and quiet and the space was well lighted with AC as needed. I would say the biggest issue ...
