Bustard Head Light, Heritage lighthouse in Seventeen Seventy, Australia
The white cast iron lighthouse rises 17 meters above ground level, with a red dome and balcony overlooking the Queensland coastline.
The lighthouse began operation in 1868 as the second-oldest lightstation in Queensland, built after the region separated from New South Wales.
The lighthouse museum contains the first Superintendent's telescope, scrimshaw art on whale teeth, and photographs documenting maritime navigation history.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through LARC tours from Seventeen Seventy, with guided access to the tower restricted to persons over 8 years old.
The structure remains the only lighthouse in Queensland where the public enters the tower, following extensive restoration work completed in 2013.
