Point Danger Light, Maritime guide structure in Coolangatta, Australia
The Point Danger Light stands 20 meters tall with four rectangular concrete pillars displaying cardinal directions and a bronze sculpture between the columns.
The lighthouse opened in 1971 to mark the bicentennial of Captain James Cook's first journey along the Australian east coast in 1770.
The structure represents the third installation in a series of seven concrete towers constructed throughout Queensland between 1964 and 1979.
The lighthouse uses mains electricity with a battery-powered system that produces two white flashes every ten seconds, visible from 11 nautical miles.
In 1971, Point Danger Light became the first lighthouse to test laser-based illumination technology, though this system required replacement by 1975.
