Visiting this lighthouse for the first time was very timely. I was in the midst of reading The Light Between Oceans, a novel by M. L. Stedman, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The story takes place on a small island off Australia, and is about the lighthouse keeper and his wife, the only inhabitants of the island, and a decision they make which will affect their lives forever. The rest you'll have to read for yourself. One of my all time favorite books.
