- From the Film Australia Collection. Made by the National Film Board 1949. Directed by Lionel Trainor. The life of the lighthouse keeper is a lonely one, but his work is vital to the safeguard of shipping. His first duty is to care for the light which must be kept working accurately at all times. A six months supply of food must be kept in store. His children are taught by correspondence. The transmission of messages and warnings to ships in storms and back to the authorities on the mainland is a vital part of his work. The arrival of the supply ship brings a welcome break to the loneliness and monotony of his life. This film illustrates the life of the keeper on remote and barren Maatsuyker Island off the coast of Tasmania.

Lovely to see my mum (Colleen Seymour) as a young child, my grandfather and my grandmother. My mum remembers her time on the Island with great memories.
Wow. Thanks for letting us know.
Ah lovely
A tough life but probably enjoyed , memories for a life
As an ex British Lighthouse Keeper, I really enjoyed this movie. It is nice to see the Keepers at work mixed in with their Family life as well. I just missed out on the weight driven lenses and oil lights, so it was great to see this recorded here for posterity, thanks and stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a shame to see that the lighthouses these days are now, in the majority, automatic and unmanned. The grit and determination shown by both the keepers and their families is something that people these days can scarcely comprehend, but that I suppose is the price of progress.
Thankyou for continuing to bring to light our small history in these archived films. It really helps people today witness to a small extent how their parents, grandparents and great grandparents lived.
What an amazing little film. Really enjoyed watching this
For Glen Seymour his work was the highlight so understandably his family life was constantly on the rocks🤔🍻
I Thoroughly Enjoyed This! Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know.
Thanks for posting this, Colleen the little girl is my mother
That's amazing. Thanks for letting us know.
A time so long ago, but never forgotten i hope. Thank you for that.
Thank YOU!! That was great to watch!!
Our pleasure!
Good to know that that some of the footage was on other islands and I could have sworn I recognised some of Tasman Island itself. Grew up on Tasman island. Terry Petersen, Dad was keeper and mum, June, raised 6 little kids there including 2 baby boy twins.
Doing crochet. It all seems very relaxing.
I’ve been there!
Wonderful film.
Nice to know I can upload it now, I've had a copy of this for 5 years.
Incredible thanks!
You're welcome!
Now that would be a great job!
(I know, they all automated by now) :(
Very interesting video and boy it would get lonely on that island.
Extreme lockdown.
@@NFSAFilms I wonder 💭 if the payment was good??
Some people don't mind, not everyone likes people,especially the ones nowadays!
Reminds of ‘The day of the Triffids”
Saw a movie about this lighthouse, can't remember the name of it though
Music score has horror film vibes lol
I just wanted to see what she (young girl anne) at 1943 was watching
'KUTUBDIA LIGHTHOUSE' situated at Cox'sbazar/ Bangladesh, built in 1846 by the Chittagong Port Authority. Architect- British Engineer Birmingham. This lighthouse is now vanished in the Bay of Bengal. Please renovate it.
That'd be a lonely & depressing job.
