South Solitary Lighthouse Information
South Solitary Lighthouse, this lighthouse was considered the most isolated on the New South Wales coast. It was the first and the last New South Wales lighthouse to use kerosene.
South Solitary Lighthouse was designed by James Barnet and first exhibited in 1880. The tower was built of mass concrete using cement and sand conveyed to the island and broken stone from the conglomerate rock of the island.
Three large stone cottages were erected for the keepers.
Owing to the exposed positions they are surrounded by high stone walls. A wall also runs from the cottages to the lighthouse.
