Troubridge Island Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse on Troubridge Island, South Australia.
The cylindrical cast iron tower stands 24 meters tall, featuring a red exterior with a white horizontal band across its structure.
Built in 1856 to reduce shipwrecks on the Troubridge Shoals, this lighthouse was the second one constructed in South Australia after Cape Willoughby.
Czech surrealist artist Voitre Marek worked as the lighthouse keeper from 1957 to 1960, adding an artistic connection to its maritime heritage.
The lighthouse operated with a focal height of 25 meters, providing white light visible for 10 nautical miles and red light for 7 nautical miles.
Despite facing an earthquake, fire, and continuous coastal erosion, the structure maintains its position on an island that constantly changes shape.
