Cape Moreton Light, Historical lighthouse at Cape Moreton, Australia.
The stone lighthouse features two red bands on its white truncated cone structure and stands 24 meters high on the northernmost point of Moreton Island.
Constructed in 1857 under the supervision of Alexander Beazeley, Cape Moreton Light became the first lighthouse established in Queensland before its separation from New South Wales.
The lighthouse represents maritime heritage through its local sandstone construction, making it the only stone-built lighthouse in Queensland's architectural collection.
The lighthouse operates with solar power since 1993 and requires specific permits for visitors traveling by four-wheel drive vehicles to access the site.
During World War II in 1942, the lighthouse received its characteristic red horizontal bands to increase visibility for ships navigating during daylight hours.
