Summary

South Neptune Island Lighthouse. In 1901 the light tower from the Port Adelaide Entrance was relocated to South Neptune Island. The low elevation of the islands was a hazard to shipping causing several shipwrecks. The major casualty was the "Yandra" which was serving as the lighthouse supply ship at the time of her loss in dense fog.
