Point King Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse at King Point, Albany, Australia
The Point King Lighthouse structure stands on the northern entrance of Princess Royal Harbour, featuring stone walls and brick details around openings.
Built in 1858 as Western Australia's second lighthouse, the structure included a 17-foot square wooden tower with an oil-fired light visible from 12 miles.
The lighthouse represents early maritime development in Western Australia, marking the establishment of safe navigation routes for international shipping traffic.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse ruins through designated pathways in Albany, where information panels detail the structure's maritime significance.
During World War II, the lighthouse transformed into an artillery coastal searchlight station, with military installations added to the surrounding area.
