Currie Lighthouse Tours
On this tour, you will have exclusive access to climb Currie Lighthouse, where you’ll climb the 93 spiral steps to the top. Get your camera ready for the incredible, uninterrupted views. During this tour you will enjoy historical commentary of the lighthouse and shipwrecks lead by an experienced local guide.
Either choose a daytime tour or one to coincide the sunset. There is nothing quite like a sunset over the Currie harbour from the best view in the house.
King Island Museum
This well-stocked and informative museum, staffed by local volunteers from the King Island Historical Society, is located in the old Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage in Currie. Step back in time and learn more about the shipwrecks, soldier settlers, sealers and other early pioneers who strove to tame the wild forests of Kings Island and to whom the present day residents and visitors owe so much. You can also view the original Cape Wickham Lighthouse lens which is more than 150 years old.
