Queenscliff Low Light, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Queenscliff, Australia.

The lighthouse stands at 18 meters tall with a cylindrical structure constructed from bluestone, featuring a balcony and lantern atop the tower point.

Built in 1862 to replace a wooden structure from 1853, the lighthouse underwent technological changes from gas illumination in 1890 to electrical power in 1924.

The lighthouse forms part of Port Phillip Bay's maritime heritage, operating alongside other navigation structures to guide vessels through dangerous waters.

The automated beacon produces white light visible up to 14 nautical miles, helping ships navigate through The Rip entrance to Port Phillip Bay.

The structure's entrance remained elevated above ground level during initial operations, requiring crew members to use rope ladders for access.
