Small town south of Kingston. Caravan Park, lighthouse. The famous Cape Jaffa light was moved to Kingston SE from Margaret Brock Reef and can now be seen on the foreshore. It was replaced in April 1973 with an automatic light.
Three lighthouse keepers tended the light in rotation. Two remaines at the lighthouse with their families, while a third rested on shore, maintaining the lighthouse cottages and later monitoring the radio.
