Huskisson
Cape St George Lighthouse
Located within the Cape Jervis Military Reserve Huskisson
The Cape St George Lighthouse was doomed from its very inception. A result of official bungling and lack of supervision, its light lasted for less than 40 years, after which it was unceremoniously destroyed. It has been inactive since 1889. From 1864 to 1893 there were 23 ships wrecked on the South Coast of New South Wales in the vicinity of Jervis Bay. The light was eventually replaced in 1889 by a new lighthouse at Point Perpendicular, a much more suitable location for a lighthouse on this part of the coast. After the commissioning of the new light it was considered that the confusion of having two towers in close proximity to one another would be a hazard to mariners in daylight. As a result, the Cape St George Tower was unceremoniously used from 1917 to 1922 for target practice by the Australian Navy and destroyed.
