| Griffith's Island Lighthouse | ||
| The lighthouse was built in 1859 at the tip of Rabbit Island (subsequently linked with Griffiths Island) to allow seamen to locate the bay. The Outline of the lighthouse station is marked by Norfolk Island Pine rows, and there were two bluestone keeper's cottages standing by the causeway to the lighthouse until 1956. The gardens established by the lighthouse keepers can still be seen. | ||
