Point Lowly Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Point Lowly, Australia.
The Point Lowly Lighthouse rises 22.8 meters high on a promontory extending into Spencer Gulf, constructed with local sandstone and white painted walls.
Built in 1883 to guide vessels toward Port Augusta and Port Pirie, the lighthouse received an additional 7.6-meter extension in 1909 to increase visibility.
The lighthouse and surrounding cottages represent the earliest European structures in the Whyalla region, preceding the establishment of the city itself.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds via a sealed bitumen road from Whyalla, with the journey taking approximately 20 minutes by car.
The structure features an eight-sided catadioptric lens system that originally rotated every 80 seconds, producing a two-second flash at ten-second intervals.
