@@PS-Straya_M8 - How fascinating. I always wished my dad had been a Kiwi lighthouse keeper. But he was one of NZ's top nuclear physicists. But we did get to grow up in a few different countries.
Hi @P S I am doing some research on the people who are living/have lived on a lighthouse station. May I ask you some questions please? I'll be very grateful!
Mevoy in Irish or British lights you were always guaranteed two other people after 1817. You could get a station like Crookhaven lighthouse, Lowestoft Lighthouse or Dún Laoghaire lighthouse which are smack bang in the middle of the towns they are named after.
This reminded me so much of Nan Chauncy's Lizzy Lights book with the hauling basket contraption and the tracks although the trolley car was used for leaving the island the main character lived on. I read it several times. Amongst even the tiny island community there was diversity. The daily lives unfold beautifully, there are secrets and some surprising and unpleasant moments. Written in 1968 for girls to adolescents. If you can get hold of it, it's a great read for anyone.
I lived on several lighthouse stations as a child in the early 70s, amazing experiences!
In Australia ?
@@wakeoftheflood2 i lived on New Zealand lighthouse stations

My family lived on Tasman island 👌
What years?
As soon as smartphones were invented they all died from taking selfies on the cliffs.
😂😂😂👍
It's not so lonely with your family with you
That would be a great life!
Looks like heaven.
i would sign up for this
You actually can at Maatsuyker Island
3:05 that family must be thinking this is totaly safe
Crazy but kinda cool
💓Ahh! If only they still necessary... I would go live & work there in a heartbeat!😁 1900's... simpler times...
Are you forgetting the fact that WWI was on 1914 and WWII 1939?
You still can live at Maatsuyker Island rent free to take care of the land and wildlife
Living in a lighthouse with no TV or Internet.. No wonder why they had so many children.🙄🙄

Your comment alone proves what a 'reluctant reader' you are... and thus - your total ignorance of history.
