Pine Islet Light, Lighthouse at Pine Islet, Queensland, Australia
The Pine Islet Light stands as a conical structure built with a hardwood frame and galvanized iron plates, reaching a height of 35 feet.
Constructed in 1885, this lighthouse operated with kerosene for 100 years until 1985, marking the end of kerosene-powered navigation lights in Australia.
The lighthouse carries a local story about a keeper's wife who died in 1895, with reports of unexplained knocks and footsteps after her grave's relocation.
The original structure now stands at Mackay Marina, while a modern 20-foot fiberglass tower with solar power continues operation at Pine Islet.
The relocated Pine Islet Light contains a second-order Chance Brothers lantern system with four fixed panels and four flash panels for directional signals.
