Summary

Point Malcolm Lighthouse was built in 1878 on the eastern side of the narrows between Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert, opposite Narrung, a small Aboriginal community. The keeper's cottage stands nearby and at the time of the photograph the keepers sold extra self produced goods to the locals. The goods were stored in a small cave in the riverbank and taken by boat to town for sale. The lighthouse is unusual as it is an inland lighthouse and may be the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.
