Point Cartwright Light, Lighthouse at Point Cartwright, Queensland, Australia.
Point Cartwright Light features a white hexagonal tower rising 34 meters above the southern headland of the Mooloolah River entrance.
The lighthouse began operations in 1975, replacing an earlier navigation light that guided ships along the Sunshine Coast since 1961.
Maritime navigation and coastal safety remain central to the local community, with the lighthouse serving as a symbol of Queensland's maritime heritage.
