A memorial to those early pioneers when the only access to this area was by ship at Harvey's return.

Feb 24 1858: Minutes from the Trinity Board
It (Harvey's return) needs to be made more convenient for loading stores, oil, etc.. that trucks and chains were required for raising the lighthouse stores (but concluded) that no funds were to be made available.
Captain Woodward relayed a few curt words to the Board and when members arrived upon the Yatala to first inspect the new station, they also bought a horse harness and dray, hay and timber and palings for a stable. However a wayward underkeeper allowed the horse to stray and stores had to be man hauled onde again.
In 1859 another horse arrived and a double track was laid down the steepest incline. A cable system was powered by a horse capstan near the top. A paddock was also cleared to grow horse feed, but the animals continued to be the subject to injury and loss.
The sea to land transfer of goods continued to be a dangerous hazard until a derrick crane was erected atop a rocky outcrop with an additional connecting rail in 1923.
