Mary Anne Reef
Admiralty Reference # 1696
1930's, 1993 - present
Ralph Meakins Collection
The Light above (photo circa 1960's) was destroyed in a cyclone in
1993.
There have been a number of lights on this reef
since the 1930's, at least 7 up to 1995. At that time, two sets of foundations
could be seen in the water, one above the sea and the the other completely
submerged. There is now a double height size white 3 GRP hut on concrete piled
structure with a ML 300 lantern. Interestingly, this Mary Anne Reef Light is
now mounted on a steel skid so that it can be relocated as desired to cope
with the movement of the island due to the natural elements.
(Cumming, Glasson
& McCarthy - 1995)
