Split Point Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Aireys Inlet, Australia

The Split Point Lighthouse stands 34 meters tall with its white cylindrical structure overlooking the Southern Ocean from the Victorian coastline point.

Built in 1891 along the dangerous Victorian coast, this navigational structure features a first-order Fresnel lens that projects light visible from 20 nautical miles.

The lighthouse gained recognition through its appearance in the Australian television series Round the Twist and the mystery novel featuring Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte.

Visitors can access guided tours of the lighthouse during weekends through advance reservations to explore the tower and learn about maritime navigation.

The structure earned the name 'White Queen' due to its prominent position at 66 meters above sea level on the Great Ocean Road.
