Currie, the largest township and administrative centre of King Island, is situated on the island's west coast at the entrance to Bass Strait. Established in the 1840s, it was originally known as Howie's Boat Harbour, later renamed after Melbourne shipowner Archibald Currie. The town boasts a rich maritime history, highlighted by the 1879 Currie Lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the Southern Ocean. Today, Currie thrives as a hub for the fishing industry, particularly rock lobster harvesting, and serves as a gateway to King Island's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
