Cape Bowling Green Light, Maritime lighthouse at Darling Harbour, Australia.
The Cape Bowling Green Light stands 22 meters tall, constructed with riveted iron plating around a wooden framework of Australian hardwood.
Built in 1874 to prevent shipwrecks, the lighthouse operated with a kerosene burner and Chance Brothers third order dioptric lens visible for 14 nautical miles.
The lighthouse represents Queensland's maritime heritage, now preserved at the Australian National Maritime Museum for educational purposes.
The structure remains inaccessible to visitors, but the surrounding grounds at the Australian Maritime Museum stay open throughout the year.
Before its relocation to Sydney, lighthouse keepers endured numerous challenges, including swarms of insects in an area known as Mosquito Alley.
