Vlamingh Head lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in North West Cape, Australia.
The lighthouse rises on a headland with white limestone walls and features a prefabricated steel and glass lantern at its highest point.
Following the wreck of SS Mildura in 1907, construction of the lighthouse began in 1911 and operations started on November 10, 1912.
The lighthouse structure represents the maritime heritage of Western Australia, marking a period when manual keepers maintained coastal navigation systems.
Located 17 kilometers north of Exmouth, the site offers viewing points for both sunrise and sunset over the Indian Ocean.
The lighthouse maintained a kerosene-powered signal visible for 22 nautical miles until 1967, when electric navigation aids replaced its function.
