About Light It Up | The Podcast

I'm your host Amanda and this is Light It Up, a podcast all about Australian Lighthouses. In this series we cover everything you want to know about Australian Lighthouses (and even things you didn't know you wanted to know) including what it was like to live at a lighthouse, shipwrecks, harrowing tales, women and first nations stories, the lens, how lighthouses have inspired artists and much, much more. Sit tight, and strap in, because this will be a doozy.

   11A | When the Lights Go Out: The Inquiry

   You're probably wondering why you can't find a job advertisement on seek.com (http://seek.com/).au for lighthouse keepers. The beginning of the end is a story about money, technology evolution, commercial shipping and warring government departments. The unmanning of lighthouses was a topic worthy of a parliamentary inquiry, starting with The Report on Navigational Aids (Summers Report) in 1974 and culminating in the Parliamentary inquiry titled "Lighthouses: Do we keep the keepers?" in 1983 (Inquiry). Co-hosted with Max Halden.
