Exploring a signal station facility
18 Jun 2025
Boulcott Probus Club recently visited the Beacon Hill Signal Station on Seatoun Heights.
The station's staff act as the city's gatekeepers, like a watchtower over the capital 135 metres above sea level. A team of six people work on rotation to feed information through to hundreds of commercial and recreational vessels every day.
The signal station is also incredibly important as one person’s gaze over the coastline and waters can decrease the number of collisions, shipping delays, and prevent financial ruin.
Lunch was followed at a nearby café in Seatoun Village. It was a great day out for all who attended.
