Please check out Michael Mitchell’s website thegreataustraliancancerbushwalk In July 1770 Captain Cook`s journal documents “Grassy Hill” as the site on which he stood to survey the ocean for a passage between the reefs for his ship. In 1886 a lighthouse marking the safe passage to the port was erected on this spot, with a lighthouse keeper`s cottage attached. The lighthouse lantern was prefabricated and arrived on board the New Guinea via Batavia in 1885. / It was initially manned and lit by kerosene. The lighthouse keeper also maintained a signal staff to announce the arrival of shipping and to signal the noon hour to the town by dropping a time ball. The original light source and associated equipment were replaced when the operation of the lighthouse was changed from manned to automatic in 1927. / The cottage and signal staff may have been removed at this time. During the period of the Palmer gold rush the lighthouse became a significant landmark for the shipping which made Cooktown a bustling and prosperous commercial port. In 1913 a radio station, VIC was erected on a spur of the hill to permit radio contact with shipping, superseding the flag and the lithograph previously used. During 1942-45 a radar station flanked by defensive installations was erected on the hill, but was dismantled and removed after the war. In 1970 a sandstone cairn was placed on the crest to commemorate the bi-centenary of Cook`s survey. / / The lighthouse is approximately 6m high, set on a concrete base and constructed of corrugated iron on a timber frame. It is conical in form, tapering to a balcony supported on timber brackets. Above the balcony the structure becomes cylindrical in shape and is capped with a hemispherical dome. Small rectangular windows are let into the conical section. It has standard lantern and beam projection apparatus. The light source is now an open flame acetylene gas burner.
