Low Isles Light, Maritime lighthouse in Port Douglas, Australia.
The white lighthouse tower reaches 18 meters in height and features a red dome with porthole windows set within a galvanized iron exterior.
The Low Isles Light, completed in 1878, marked the first lighthouse construction in Far North Queensland to guide ships through the Great Barrier Reef.
The Commonwealth Heritage List includes this lighthouse as a representation of Queensland's maritime infrastructure development during the nineteenth century.
Boat tours from Port Douglas provide transportation to Low Island, where visitors can explore the lighthouse grounds throughout the year.
The lighthouse converted from oil burners to solar power in 1993, ending the era of resident keepers who maintained the facility for over a century.
