Old Caloundra Light, Maritime lighthouse in Kings Beach, Australia
The Old Caloundra Light features a timber frame covered with corrugated iron, rising twelve meters above the Sunshine Coast landscape at Canberra Terrace.
Built in 1896 to guide ships through the North West Channel into Brisbane Port, this lighthouse remained operational until its deactivation in 1968.
The lighthouse structure contains a dedicated room that served as the local post office and telegraph station until 1910, connecting the coastal community.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse during guided tours on the second and fourth Saturday monthly between 9 AM and 3 PM through Friends of Caloundra Lighthouses.
The lighthouse underwent a complete relocation to Woorim Park in 1970 before returning to its original position at Canberra Terrace in 1999.
