It has a lighthouse, airstrip (closed), roads, jetty, two houses, a dam and a museum.[5] Lighthouse{{main|Deal Island Lighthouse}}Deal Island has the highest lighthouse in the Southern Hemisphere,[7] standing {{convert|305|m|ft|0}} above sea level and was sometimes visible at night from Wilson's Promontory, {{convert|80|km|mi|0}} away.{{cn|date=December 2015}} The lighthouse was built in 1848 and deactivated in 1992. While active, the height caused problems with visibility in low cloud conditions. Management and conservation is under the control of the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.[6] On 26 April 1943 during World War II an RAAF A25 Airspeed Oxford aircraft crashed killing all four crewmen. The aircraft wreck and their graves are about {{convert|15|m}} apart at the bottom of the cliff. The bodies have since been disinterred and buried at {{VICcity|Springvale}}, Victoria.[7] Eyewitness accounts say the plane flew low over a ship which was actually a wreck, and then failed to regain enough height before hitting the cliff. FaunaRecorded breeding seabird and wader species include little penguin, Pacific gull, and sooty oystercatcher. Mammals found on the island are the red-necked wallaby, common brushtail possum, southern brown bandicoot, fur seals and the introduced European rabbit. Reptiles present include the metallic skink, Bougainville's skink, White's skink and the white-lipped snake.[5] Climate{{Weather box|location = Deal Island (1871-present) |open = y |single line = y |metric first = y |Jan record high C = 35.8 |Feb record high C = 32.8 |Mar record high C = 31.3 |Apr record high C = 25.5 |May record high C = 23.2 |Jun record high C = 18.2 |Jul record high C = 17.2 |Aug record high C = 20.4 |Sep record high C = 24.9 |Oct record high C = 26.0 |Nov record high C = 33.6 |Dec record high C = 30.2 |year record high C = 35.8 |Jan high C = 20.2 |Feb high C = 20.5 |Mar high C = 19.4 |Apr high C = 17.6 |May high C = 15.6 |Jun high C = 13.5 |Jul high C = 12.7 |Aug high C = 12.8 |Sep high C = 13.7 |Oct high C = 15.4 |Nov high C = 16.8 |Dec high C = 18.3 |year high C = 16.4 |Jan low C = 14.1 |Feb low C = 14.6 |Mar low C = 14.2 |Apr low C = 12.8 |May low C = 11.5 |Jun low C = 9.7 |Jul low C = 8.5 |Aug low C = 8.2 |Sep low C = 8.9 |Oct low C = 9.8 |Nov low C = 11.2 |Dec low C = 12.6 |year low C = 11.3 |Jan record low C = 4.9 |Feb record low C = 8.0 |Mar record low C = 3.8 |Apr record low C = 3.3 |May record low C = 0.4 |Jun record low C = -0.5 |Jul record low C = -0.5 |Aug record low C = -5.5 |Sep record low C = -0.2 |Oct record low C = 5.0 |Nov record low C = -4.0 |Dec record low C = 2.5 |year record low C = -5.5 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 40.7 |Feb precipitation mm = 38.7 |Mar precipitation mm = 52.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 61.1 |May precipitation mm = 73.6 |Jun precipitation mm = 78.5 |Jul precipitation mm = 78.5 |Aug precipitation mm = 73.3 |Sep precipitation mm = 61.4 |Oct precipitation mm = 60.8 |Nov precipitation mm = 50.8 |Dec precipitation mm = 49.6 |year precipitation mm = 718.8 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 8.2 |Feb precipitation days = 7.4 |Mar precipitation days = 9.7 |Apr precipitation days = 12.4 |May precipitation days = 14.8 |Jun precipitation days = 16.0 |Jul precipitation days = 16.9 |Aug precipitation days = 16.4 |Sep precipitation days = 14.5 |Oct precipitation days = 13.3 |Nov precipitation days = 11.5 |Dec precipitation days = 10.0 |year precipitation days = 151.1 |source = Bureau of Meteorology[8] }} See also{{stack|{{portal|Tasmania|Islands}}}}
