The 29 metre high lighthouse is situated on the highest point of the island, near Storm Bay, 276 metres above sea level – making it Australia’s highest lighthouse.  Built in 1906,  the lighthouse is constructed of curved cast-iron plates, bolted together and positioned on a concrete base.

Three brick keepers’ quarters, also built in 1906, housed sheds for wood and coal under the same roof for protection from the wild weather which batters the island.

The light was was automated in 1976, demanned in May 1977 and there has been no permanent human presence on the island since that date. - in: https://wildcaretas.org.au/branches/friends-of-tasman-island/
