manned lightstation period, but does contain small remnants from that period.                                                                                                                                                             Provision of domestic electric lighting for lightkeepers' quarters was a typical feature of lightstations from about the 1930s (criterion d).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       There is a corrugated iron rainwater tank, on a timber stand, against the northern wall of the building.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       One of the generator sets is in working order, the other is unserviceable following fire damage.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The building is in generally sound condition.

3 Winch house

                                      Built in the late 1950s. In service until the light­station was de-manned in 1987.                                                                                                               Timber-framed, skillion roofed, single room building on suspended reinforced concrete slab floor. Roof sheeted with Super Six asbestos-cement, with matching accessory barge pieces. Walls sheeted with hardwood weather-boards.                                                                     Moderately signifi­cant for these reasons:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Timber casement windows, and solid timber doors and hatches.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The winch house and its equipment dem­onstrates the devel­opment and oper­ation of the light­station, particularly the work of trans­ferring fuel, equip­ment and stores from boats (criterion a).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Inside the building is a reel winch driven by a small diesel engine, set up to control both the lifting line on the crane, and the trolley hauling line.                                                                                                                                             The winch house and its associated com­ponents are typical elements of light­stations on elevated sites serviced from the sea (criterion d).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The building is in a deterio­rated condition.
4 Derrick crane

                                      Built in the late 1950s. In service until the light­station was de-manned in 1987.                                                                                                               Slewing derrick crane with tubular steel jib, post and legs, arranged to lift a load from a small boat brought up to the cliff below, and to lift it on to the landing platform or boat platform. The lifting line is operated by the reel winch in the winch house, and the jib is slewed by hand.  Highly signifi­cant for these reasons:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The crane is in a deteriorated condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The crane and its equipment dem­onstrates the devel­opment and oper­ation of the light­station, particularly the work of trans­ferring fuel, equip­ment and stores from boats (criterion a).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The crane is a rare surviving example of a lightstation crane (crit­erion b).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The crane is a typical element of light­stations on elevated sites serviced from the sea (criterion d).
5 Landing platform

                                      Built in the late 1950s. In service until the light­station was de-manned in 1987.                                                                                                               Reinforced concrete floor slab. One section is sup­ported on the ground and fill; the rest is suspended and supported on concrete posts.                                                                                                                                                             Moderately signifi­cant for these reasons:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The platform is in a seriously deteriorated and dangerous condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The landing platform demonstrates the devel­opment and oper­ation of the light­station, particularly the work of trans­ferring fuel, equip­ment and stores from boats (criterion a).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The landing platform is a typical element of light­stations on elevated sites ser­viced from the
