Eastern Channel Pile Light, Navigational lighthouse in Sydney Harbour, Australia.
The Eastern Channel Pile Light stands 11 meters tall with an octagonal prism shape, two galleries, and a lantern atop concrete supports in Sydney Harbour.
The Eastern Channel Pile Light began operations in 1924 alongside the Western Channel Pile Light to guide vessels entering Port Jackson through Sow and Pigs Reef.
The structure earned the nickname East Wedding Cake due to its distinctive tiered design featuring a concrete base, copper top, and wooden stakes skirt.
The lighthouse operates with solar power technology and maintains a light range of 9 nautical miles, providing essential navigation guidance for maritime traffic.
Located off Laings Point in Vaucluse, the structure incorporates a weather station that supplies real-time meteorological data to passing vessels.
