Bulwer Island Light

Bulwer Island Light, Maritime lighthouse in Brisbane, Australia

Bulwer Island Light is a white cylindrical lighthouse topped with a red lantern dome, located at the Queensland Maritime Museum on Brisbane River's southern bank. The tower displays the design and materials typical of early coastal navigation structures.

Constructed in 1909 at the mouth of Brisbane River, the lighthouse operated as a rear leading light until deactivation in 1983. It marked a key point in the region's maritime navigation development.

The tower is the last of eight hardwood-framed, corrugated-iron lighthouses built in Queensland; the first seven were Little Sea Hill, Grassy Hill, Goods Island, Bay Rock, Old Caloundra Head, North Point Hummock and Gatcombe Head. At the Queensland Maritime Museum its ground level is open to visitors, who can step inside the relocated structure.

The lighthouse stands at the Queensland Maritime Museum on the southern bank of the Brisbane River, just south of South Bank Parklands and near the Goodwill Bridge. The museum opens daily, and the tower's ground level is open to visitors.

Bulwer Island Light was the eighth and last of a series of hardwood-framed, corrugated-iron-clad lighthouses built in Queensland; the first seven were Little Sea Hill, Grassy Hill, Goods Island, Bay Rock, Old Caloundra Head, North Point Hummock and Gatcombe Head lights. Two of those, North Point Hummock and Gatcombe Head, have since been demolished, leaving this tower as the final survivor of the type.
