22.01.2022 Due to the restrictions I couldn't be at the Cape Schanck Lighthouse today or over ILLW 2020 running tours. Instead though I have my lovely stained glass panel ...of the Cape Schanck Lighthouse to keep me happy, although I can't wait to get back there in person. By the way only one person in the whole world got my Morse Code message ---.. ---.. and that person was not in Australia! So what does it mean? It is 88 or in old telegraph speak short for 'Hugs and Kisses' which you put at the end of your telegram if that's what you wanted to say to the receiver. Hope you enjoyed that and I hope when we get operational again that you'll come to see The Lady of History tours at the Cape Schanck Lighthouse on the Mornington Peninsula. I will post return date on Facebook just as soon as I can or phone me on 0407 348 478, email: [email protected] if you want more information. ---.. ---..

16.01.2022 .... .- .--. .--. -.-- / . .-.. .-.. .-- / ..--- ----- ..--- ----- or in other words Happy ILLW 2020. Yay, its International Lighthouse and Lightship weekend 2...2 and 23 August 2020, the weekend where lighthouses from right across the world say hi to each other. This year I will be communicating in Morse code to try to hone my skills. Message replies in Morse too will help me do that. I wonder if anyone knows what this means? ---.. ---.. (Hint: old telegraph code, 2 numbers, both the same) Tours of the Cape Schanck Lighthouse are still currently suspended due to the coronavirus restrictions but I am happily working on lots of other lighthouse projects and can't wait to get back showing the light again.

12.01.2022 ANZAC Day 2020 greetings from the Cape Schanck Lighthouse! We are still unable to run Lighthouse and Museum tours but the Lighthouse is still doing its wonderful job as a beacon of hope and an aid to navigation and shining brightly every night. At this time the Cape is a really special place for local residents to walk and enjoy, but for others please stay home, stay safe, stay happy and plan your visit to the Cape Schanck Lighthouse for the future. I'm sure we'll be back be...fore too long. When we are the Lighthouse tour dates and times will be promoted as events on this Facebook page Cape Schanck Lighthouse.

11.01.2022 We are disappointed to come to you with this news but following the latest advice from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) the Cape Schanck Lighthouse tours, Museum and Cottages will be temporarily closed from Thursday 9 July 2020 until further notice. Until we are open again please enjoy these photographs of the rooms set up in the 1859 Head Lighthouse Keeper's Quarters. This building along with the Lighthouse and the Assistant Lighthouse keeper's Quarters (M...useum) were all designed by the colonial architect Charles Maplestone, and now are considered to be the most authentic Lighthouse buildings in Australia. Staged by The Lady of History the Lighthouse keeper cottage tours take people back into the time of the Lighthouse keepers and their families and tell their stories. For information on the lightstation and tours please contact Janice Haynes, The Lady of History PH: 0407 348 478, email: [email protected]. As soon as Lighthouse, Museum and Cottage tours can resume we will let you know. In the meantime please stay home, well and happy. We remain committed to the Lighthouses of Australia Inc. motto to 'preserve, protect and promote' lighthouses. And of course, the Cape Schanck Lighthouse will keep on shining her light through the 1859 lens still in situ in the lamp room and throwing its beam of safety into Bass Strait every night as she has done for the past 161 years! Thank you to AMSA and AMS for maintaining the light, and to Parks Victoria for managing the Cape Schanck Lighthouse precinct site. We'll miss being there, but hopefully we'll be back soon to tell more stories of the lighthouse and the lighthouse keepers who lived and worked 'on the lights'.

07.01.2022 We’re excited to announce that Janice Haynes, The Lady of History, will be conducting guided tours of the c. 1939 Red Cottage and the c. 1859 Head Lighthouse Keepers Quarters at the Cape Schanck Lighthouse Reserve. Normally not open to the public this very special opportunity is a diversification of the program because we still can’t take tours of the Lighthouse or the Museum due to the COVID 19 restrictions.

All our fingers and toes are crossed as we hope we'll get permission to be back again on site with our tours and history talk activities soon. We're missing you all and our lovely lighthouse so much!
