Fremantle North Mole Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Fremantle, Australia.
The North Mole Lighthouse is a slender cast iron tower painted red with white stripes, positioned at Fremantle Harbour's entrance. The structure sits on a narrow mole and serves as a visual reference point for vessels approaching the port.
The lighthouse became operational in 1906 after the mole's foundations had fully settled. It replaced earlier temporary lighting methods that had guided ships into the harbor.
The lighthouse marks the entrance to a working harbor that has shaped Fremantle's identity for generations. Standing here, you can sense how maritime life remains woven into the rhythm of the town.
The lighthouse is visible and easily accessed from public waterfront areas along the harbor. The best views come from the pier walkways and pathways near the harbor entrance.
This tower has a green counterpart on the opposite mole, creating an unusual paired system for navigation. The two differently colored structures are the only ones of their kind in this region.
