Eddystone Point Lighthouse

The Eddystone Point Lighthouse is situated in the Mount William National Park. It marks the most northern tip of the larapuna / Bay of Fires region. This land is the traditional homeland of the Palawa people, Tasmania’s Aboriginal community, who hold a 40-year lease for the surrounding area.

Location
larapuna / Eddystone Point is located in North East Tasmania and is 52km from St Helens.
It is approximately a 1 hours drive north from St Helens on mainly unsealed roads. The small coastal hamlet of Ansons Bay is a short detour on the way to the lighthouse.

Things to see and do
There are a number of tours that travel to this part of larapuna.
From Binalong Bay Tas 4×4 tours will take you off the beaten track and can customise a private tour to include the historic site. To view the Lighthouse from the water Bay of Fires Eco Tours offer a Bay of Fires Discovery cruise, a 3 hour boat tour departing from the Binalong Bay boat ramp.
For a cultural experience join the Wukalina Walk. This four day, three night aboriginal guided tour departs from Launceston and includes two nights in bespoke palawa-inspired huts and one night in the renovated Lighthouse Keepers cottage.

Local Tip – Divert off the beaten track further north of Larapuna to visit the Blue Lake. Located between Gladstone and Derby, this lake was originally a mine hole and is often an amazing aqua colour due to the high mineral content in the base.
