Description:
The Cape Inscription lighthouse - together with the keepers' quarters - was built between 1908 and 1910. It still operates, but has been automated since 1917. In 2012, the Shire of Shark Bay renovated the lighthouse keepers' quarters, which had fallen into disrepair over the years since lighthouse automation.
