In 1947, the keeper of Australia’s tallest lighthouse went out to sea to fish and never returned. And the new caretakers allegedly began to notice oddities: shuffling, heavy steps on the spiral staircase, sighs, door handles polished to a shine. Thus was born the legend that a ghost settled at the lighthouse. The lighthouse at Cape Hicks is currently open to the public. There you can admire the local beauties and spend the night. Every year, thousands of tourists come to Hicks Point hoping to see the ghost of the lighthouse keeper.
