Bulwer Island Light, Maritime lighthouse in Brisbane, Australia
The white cylindrical lighthouse features a red lantern dome and stands at the Queensland Maritime Museum, showcasing traditional coastal navigation architecture.
Built in 1909 at the mouth of Brisbane River, the Bulwer Island Light operated as a rear leading light until its deactivation in 1983.
The structure represents Queensland's maritime navigation heritage as the eighth lighthouse constructed in the region using local hardwood and corrugated iron materials.
Visitors can view the lighthouse at the Queensland Maritime Museum, located on the southern bank of Brisbane River, from Wednesday through Sunday.
The lighthouse underwent a complete restoration in 2005, which included replacement of timber elements and windowsills to preserve its original characteristics.
