11 lighthouses catalogued on the Tasmania coast.
Tasmania punches far above its weight in lighthouse heritage. The Bass Strait is among the roughest stretches of water in Australia, and the lights that mark the approaches to Hobart, the Bass Strait islands, and the west coast were built to survive conditions that tested every design Engineering Britain could send. Deal Island, Maatsuyker Island and Cape Bruny all remain operational, some still accessible only by sea.
