Sugarloaf Point Light, Maritime lighthouse in Seal Rocks, Australia
The white cylindrical tower stands 15 meters tall on the northern end of Myall Lakes National Park, featuring an external spiral staircase against coastal cliffs.
Colonial architect James Barnet designed this 1875 lighthouse after multiple shipwrecks occurred near Seal Rocks, including the SS Catterthun tragedy with 55 casualties.
The surrounding territory belonged to the Worimi people, who left archaeological evidence of their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle throughout the coastal region.
The lighthouse grounds remain open year-round, with three renovated keeper cottages offering accommodation equipped with modern amenities and wireless internet access.
This structure represents one of only two lighthouses in Australia constructed with an external stairway, distinguishing it from other maritime beacons along the coast.
