Griffiths Island Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse on Griffiths Island, Port Fairy, Australia.
The lighthouse stands 16 meters tall with a white cylindrical tower marked by a red horizontal band on the southern coast of Victoria.
Built in 1859 using local bluestone, the lighthouse guided ships into Port Fairy during its emergence as a significant trading port in the region.
The Gunditjmara people named this location Moleen before John Griffiths established a whaling station that operated until 1843 on the island.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through walking paths across the causeway connecting Griffiths Island to Port Fairy, offering coastal views along the route.
The lighthouse grounds contain gardens from former keeper cottages that continue to produce flowers despite the buildings' demolition in the 1950s.
