Sandy Cape Light, Heritage lighthouse in Queensland, Australia.
The white conical tower with a red lantern dome stands 26 meters tall at the northern point of K'gari, guiding ships along the coast.
Constructed in 1870, Sandy Cape Light became the second major lighthouse built in Queensland after the state's formation in 1859.
The lighthouse compound includes preserved keeper's quarters and workshop buildings that showcase maritime infrastructure of the nineteenth century.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking a ferry to K'gari and driving a four-wheel vehicle through the Great Sandy National Park.
The structure consists of prefabricated cast iron segments that were manufactured in Leeds, England, and shipped to Australia for assembly.
