WEEKEND READ// A wandering light: Cape Bowling Green lighthouse
At 22 metres tall Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse seems a solid, immovable structure. In fact, it was designed for ready disassembly and has been moved at least three times in its 150-year life.

Just two weeks is all it took and the conservation of the exterior of the Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse is complete. Its outer surface received some TLC, corrosion treatment and a lick of paint in white and signal red. Come and check it out -https://t.co/LO4xcIrLtJ.

Standing at the centre of our museum is the imposing lens & pedestal from the Tasman Island lighthouse. Once a year our team of conservators check its condition & carefully clean its lenses & structure. At 6 meters tall it's quite a task. #AskaConservator

This whalebone swift used by crocheters and knitters supports a skein of yarn while being wound into a ball. The complex construction of flat and turned parts made with fine tolerances, so it turns smoothly, fascinates our Conservator Alayne. #AskAConservator
