Mutton Island Lighthouse

After just over 160 years of use, the Mutton Island lighthouse was finally decommissioned on the 13th of December 1977. Careful conservation work is restoring the lighthouse to its former glory and this tour will be given by a member of the last family to live in the lighthouse, providing a unique insight into life as a lighthouse family.
