Guiding Lights – Tasmania's Lighthouses and Lighthousemen | Kathleen M. Stanley | 1991 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

A history of Tasmania's lighthouses and the families who staffed them, written by Kathleen M. Stanley and published in 1991. Tasmania's coastline and the surrounding islands of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean made lighthouses essential to safe navigation through some of the most treacherous waters in Australia. Stanley documents the island's lighthouse stations and the lighthousemen and their families who lived in often remote and isolated postings — covering the daily realities of the job, the equipment and technology, and the personal stories behind the working life of a lighthouse keeper.

At 181 pages with black and white photographs throughout, it gives a genuine sense of what lighthouse life involved, beyond the romantic image often attached to the role.
