Double Island Point Light, Coastal lighthouse at Double Island Point, Queensland, Australia.

The Double Island Point Light features a timber frame structure covered with white galvanized iron plates and topped with a red dome.

The Queensland Government constructed the lighthouse in 1884 to guide vessels through the treacherous waters surrounding the Great Barrier Reef.

The lighthouse precinct included a schoolhouse from 1884 to 1922, serving the educational needs of the keeper families living at the station.

Located within Great Sandy National Park, visitors can explore the lighthouse grounds throughout the year, though the tower remains closed to the public.

The lighthouse transitioned from oil burners to solar power in 1992, marking the end of manual operation and staff residence at the station.
