Griffiths Island Lighthouse
The Griffiths Island Lighthouse was built in 1859 by Scottish stonemasons out of bluestone. The unique stairway is cut with each step being inserted in the next course of stone in the outside wall.
Originally located on an area known as Rabbit Island, the island has since been encompassed by the neighbouring Griffiths Island.
The last lighthouse keeper that lived on the island was there from 1929 till 1954. There was one more lightkeeper for a short time before the light was automated.
