Woodman Point Lighthouse

Woodman Point Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure in Henderson, Australia

Woodman Point Lighthouse is a 9.8-metre tower of locally quarried limestone, standing on the highest ground of Woodman Point south of Fremantle rather than at the water's edge. It shows a green sector to the east, a bright white central sector and red to the west. Two Federation Bungalow keepers' cottages, also limestone, share the block.

Construction of the Gage Roads leading light began in October 1901 under contractor W. C. Rose, for £2,383. It was officially opened on 23 August 1902 by Minister for Public Works Hector Rason, with the first keeper William Efford transferred from Arthur Head. The light was electrified in 1955 and de-staffed on 19 July that year.

The two limestone Federation Bungalow keepers' cottages on the same block have not housed keepers since the light was electrified in 1955; they are now private residences. The last keepers to leave were Laurence McBride and assistant Albert Livesey, who ended their service on 19 July 1955.

The lighthouse itself is not open to the public, and the two keepers' cottages on the same block are private residences, so the tower can only be seen from outside. It stands on the highest ground of Woodman Point, set back from the shore rather than on the water's edge, so approach it from the inland side of the peninsula south of Fremantle.

The red and green sector shades are said to have been fitted in reverse order, but Public Works Department drawings predating construction show they were installed as planned. The bright white sector reached 17 nautical miles, and the 1955 electrified light about 34.5 nautical miles in clear weather.
