Kiama Light, Navigation lighthouse at Blowhole Point, Kiama, Australia
The brick and concrete lighthouse stands 36.5 meters above sea level, with three iron ladders leading to the top level and a hexagonal fence.
Edward Orpen Moriarty designed the lighthouse in 1887, ten years after the construction of Robertson Basin to support maritime activities in Kiama Harbour.
The Assistant Keeper's House now functions as the Pilots' Cottage Museum, presenting exhibits about regional maritime navigation and local heritage.
The lighthouse operates under Transport for NSW management, featuring LED lights and battery backup systems for continuous navigation support along the coastline.
The original oil burner with a catadioptric fixed lens produced a distinctive green light visible for nine nautical miles before upgrading to coal gas.
