Goods Island Light, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Torres Strait, Australia
The white cylindrical lighthouse stands 5 meters tall at the highest point of Goods Island, reaching a total elevation of 115 meters above sea level.
The first navigation aid on Goods Island began in 1877 as a signaling station, with the permanent lighthouse structure completed in 1886 for Torres Strait pearl fishers.
The lighthouse represents maritime heritage in Queensland as part of eight historical lighthouses constructed with hardwood frames and corrugated iron cladding.
The structure functions with solar power since 1988 and emits quick-flashing white light visible for 11 nautical miles across the Torres Strait waters.
Government workers constructed this lighthouse instead of private contractors, making it different from other Queensland maritime navigation structures of that period.
