On the weekend of November 21st & 22nd this year Farewell Spit Tours celebrates 80 years of 4x4 Tours to the lighthouse.
The programme is yet to be finalised and will be updated soon.
If you lived at the lighthouse, worked for the company or had family that did we would love to see you.
Please pass this on to people you think may be interested.
As we check through the archives in preparation we will share more photos and videos, if you have any photos or videos, feel free to share them too.
Our preferred means of contact is to our email- [email protected]

6th of January 2000
6 vehicles off to the Spit, Bob Boreham with a fishing party. - No fish sadly. John Stevens - Eliza, Kersten Franke - Erin, Leigh Gamby - Lady Barkly, Edna Addison - Lily, Murray Marshall - Morning Light. All of the buses named after little ships that sailed in and out of Collingwood. It doesn't seem that long ago, but it was 25 years - Crikey!
