New Caloundra Light, Coastal lighthouse in Caloundra, Australia.
The New Caloundra Light features a concrete tower with a square base supporting a semicircular D-shaped observation room and lantern mounted on the roof.
The lighthouse began operations in 1968 as part of a modernization project to guide larger container ships through the North West Channel into Moreton Bay.
The structure represents the evolution of maritime navigation technology in Queensland, marking a transition from traditional lighthouse designs to modern navigation facilities.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds on Canberra Terrace, which offers views of Moreton Bay, the Glasshouse Mountains, and the surrounding coastline.
The structure remains the only lighthouse in Australia designed to resemble an airport control tower, incorporating both navigation and signal station functions.
