Summary

Lighthouse Keeper cottages at Neptune Island, 1 November 1907. The Neptune Islands consist of two groups of islands located close to the entrance of Spencer Gulf. Lighthouse Island is among the islands of the South Neptune Islands. The keeper's cottage is a large stone single storey building with a steeply pitched tiled roof. A group of workmen are having a break from their building to pose for this photograph. The roof is almost completed. In 1901 the light tower from the Port Adelaide entrance was relocated to the South Island Island. The complex consisted of the cottage, store, outbuildings, stone fences and stone rainwater tanks.
