Lady Elliot Island Light, Heritage lighthouse in Burnett Heads, Australia

The Lady Elliot Island Light features a white octagonal concrete tower with a horizontal red band near the top, reaching a height of 20 meters.

Constructed in 1866, this lighthouse played an essential role in maritime navigation, guiding ships safely through the entrance of the Burnett River until 1971.

The structure represents Queensland's maritime development period and stands as one of the earliest lighthouses built after the region's formation in 1859.

The lighthouse site remains open for exterior visits, although the tower interior stays closed while operating with automated lighting powered by electricity.

Four white flashes emerge every twenty seconds from this concrete tower, which maintains visibility for approximately 18 nautical miles across the ocean.

Location: Queensland

Inception: 1866
