Book Launch - The Lights in My Life

Join us on Tiritiri Matangi Island to celebrate the launch of “The Lights in My Life”, the memoirs of Ray Walter, the island’s last lighthouse keeper and a passionate conservationist behind the island’s successful planting programme in the 1980s and 90s.
The Tiritiri Matangi Lighthouse, built in 1865, is New Zealand’s oldest working lighthouse and was once one of the most powerful in the Southern Hemisphere. Its 32-metre cast-iron tower guided countless ships safely through the hazardous waters of the Hauraki Gulf for over a century.
On launch day, explore the Lighthouse Museum and step inside the first floor of the lighthouse, and hear stories that capture a bygone era of maritime history. Ray’s memoirs, edited by author Anne Rimmer with the support of the Walter family, offer a rare and heartfelt glimpse into life as a lighthouse keeper.
This is a unique opportunity to connect with New Zealand’s maritime heritage and celebrate the legacy of one of Tiritiri’s most dedicated guardians. The book will be available for purchase exclusively on the island.
Come along and be part of this special day!
