When the macrocarpa trees at East Beach were past their prime the late Kenneth Plumstead engaged chain-saw artist Eddie Freeman to turn them into a work of art. These trees had sculptures trapped inside and Eddie's skillful wielding of the mighty motor saw has released them from captivity. A sea captain at the helm, dolphins, eagles and lighthouses are marvelously revealed in wood. More of Eddie Freeman's carvings may be seen at the Windmill Point reserve in George Town.

Adjacent to the beautiful Low Head lighthouse in the "Old Quarters" building (c. 1830) you will find the Marine Education Centre. The facility was established and is maintained by volunteers. The centre gives people of all ages the opportunity to learn about and care for the marine environment. View our static displays which amongst many include a crab bigger than a penguin, a majestic White-bellied Sea Eagle and a whale tooth. The 14 Tasmanian lighthouses are featured and include a lighthouse puzzle. The centre is open 11:30-12:30 each Sunday to coincide with the sounding of the foghorn. Admission is free but donations are appreciated.
