Montague Island Light, Historical lighthouse in Narooma, Australia

The cylindrical granite tower stands at the highest point of Barunguba Montague Island, featuring a grey exterior with a white lantern structure.

James Barnet designed the lighthouse in 1873, and contractors J. Musson and W. H. Jennings completed its construction between 1878 and 1881.

The island holds deep connections to the Yuin Nation, particularly the Walbunja and Djiringanji groups, who used it for seasonal hunting activities.

The lighthouse remains active under the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and requires guided tours through private operators for any visitor access.

The original Fresnel lens from the lighthouse now resides in the Lighthouse Museum in Narooma, replaced by modern solar-powered lights in 1986.
