The Enduring Symbol - a photo on Flickriver

            To conclude our series on Bruny Island we return to where we started. The Cape Bruny Lighthouse is the most historic structure on the island and was the third lighthouse constructed in Tasmania. Although no longer functioning as a light (there is a solar powered automated light nearby), this tower stands as a monument to the men who built it: Colonial architect John Lee Archer and his convict workers. 

It is sometimes argued that the convict system was a form of slave labour, but in fact it provided enormous opportunities for convicts to reestablish themselves as constructive citizens in the colony. Convict Charles Watson was appointed by the governor to be building supervisor of the lighthouse and he received a pardon for his contribution.
