Location & Light Range
About Cape Tourville Lighthouse
The Cape Tourville Lighthouse stands 126 meters tall with a white tower. Its focal height is also 126 meters, and it emits a white light. The lighthouse operates automatically and is unmanned. Private contractors Hurburgh and Olbrich constructed the lighthouse in 1971. The site required blasting and leveling of a granite headland to create a base for the tower and a parking area. Access was established with a road and powerline constructed through forest.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was established to improve navigation for bulk carriers servicing the Triabunna wood chip mill. It superseded the earlier Cape Forestier Lighthouse.
