Fingal Head Light, Maritime lighthouse in New South Wales, Australia
The circular concrete tower with sandstone elements stands on the eastern headland, featuring a distinctive white exterior and a domed lantern at the top.
Colonial architect James Barnet designed this lighthouse in 1879 as part of a series of five similar structures along the New South Wales coast.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation development in Australia, marking one of the most easterly points for ships traversing the Pacific Ocean route.
The structure emits a flash every five seconds, displaying red light toward the east and white light in other directions for maritime navigation.
Foundation remnants of the original lighthouse keeper's residence from 1923 remain visible near the current structure, marking the transition to automation.
