Cape Liptrap Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in South Gippsland Shire, Australia.
The Cape Liptrap Lighthouse stands on a rocky cliff top, reaching 93 meters above sea level with its white concrete octagonal structure and automated light system.
Built in 1913 as a steel tower with acetylene light, the lighthouse was reconstructed in 1951 using cast concrete, marking a new era in maritime navigation.
The structure represents early Australian maritime infrastructure development, operating as the first automatic Commonwealth-funded light without requiring a stationed keeper.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse through South Walkerville Road and Cape Liptrap Road, with unrestricted access to the surrounding coastal reserve.
The lighthouse emits a white flash every 12.05 seconds across 18 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the challenging waters of Bass Strait.
