Cliffy Island Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Cliffy Island, Victoria, Australia

The granite lighthouse tower rises 13 meters high with a white and red exterior on an isolated island in Bass Strait.

The lighthouse began operations in 1884 as part of Victoria's maritime safety network, using kerosene fuel before transitioning to modern systems.

This navigational structure represents Victorian maritime engineering and continues to guide vessels through the challenging waters of Bass Strait.

The lighthouse remains operational through solar power under the management of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, with access limited to helicopter transport.

The original construction utilized granite quarried directly from the island, with remnants of old train tracks still visible near the structure.
