Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Point Lonsdale, Australia.

The white concrete lighthouse stands 21 meters tall with walls tapering from 2 meters at the base to 1 meter at the top.

After a wooden structure from 1863, the current lighthouse was constructed in 1902 to guide vessels through the dangerous waters of Port Phillip Bay.

The lighthouse functions as a maritime control center for ships passing through The Rip, maintaining the safety of water traffic in the region.

Visitors can join guided tours on Sundays through the Queenscliff Maritime Museum to learn about the lighthouse's operations and maritime history.

The structure includes a preserved foghorn from 1928 that matches its flashing pattern and still operates during special demonstrations in August.
