Now it is the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse tower that is undergoing significant restoration works; to ensure that the lighthouse continues to play a vital role in protecting shipping as it passes the SW Capes of Australia. This is a historic point in the long history of Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse - having stood since 1903 with just one previous major renovation, it is now needing some care and attention to keep it operating for the next century.
