Cliffy Island Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Cliffy Island, Victoria, Australia
Cliffy Island Lighthouse is a granite tower with a white and red striped exterior standing on an isolated island in Bass Strait. The structure rises approximately 13 meters and was built directly from stone quarried from the island itself.
The lighthouse was established in 1884 to guide vessels through the challenging waters of Bass Strait. The original equipment relied on kerosene lamps before modern energy sources were later installed.
This navigational structure represents Victorian maritime engineering and continues to guide vessels through the challenging waters of Bass Strait.
The lighthouse operates today using solar power and is managed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. Access to the island is only possible by helicopter, which severely limits any visits.
Old railway tracks remain visible near the structure, a reminder of the original construction process. These traces date from when materials were moved during the building of the facility.
