Gabo Island Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse on Gabo Island, Victoria, Australia
The granite lighthouse rises 47 meters from Gabo Island's shore, operating as a navigation beacon with three flashes every twenty seconds at 55 meters above sea level.
Constructed between 1858 and 1862 using local pink granite, the structure stands as the second tallest lighthouse in Australia, marking maritime routes for over 160 years.
The lighthouse complex includes a museum in the former blacksmith shop, displaying information about the island's geology, maritime history, and natural environment.
Visitors can stay at the assistant lighthouse keeper's residence, which accommodates eight people and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The island hosts large colonies of Little Penguins that return to shore at dawn and dusk, visible from designated observation points near the lighthouse.
