Richmond River Light, Maritime lighthouse in Ballina, Australia
The Richmond River Light features a circular stone tower with a height of 7 meters, standing at an elevation of 35 meters above sea level.
Constructed between 1878 and 1880 according to James Barnet's design, the lighthouse started operations with a fixed fourth-order catadioptric light visible for twelve miles.
The lighthouse forms part of a network of five identical structures along the New South Wales coast, representing the maritime architectural style of colonial Australia.
The grounds remain accessible throughout the year, while the tower produces four white flashes every 16 seconds with a range of 17 nautical miles.
The structure operates with a 12-volt tungsten halogen lamp generating 28,000 candelas, supported by battery backup in case of power interruptions.
