Eborac Island Light

Eborac Island Light, Lighthouse on Eborac Island, Adolphus Channel, Queensland, Australia

Eborac Island Light is a white square tower on a small rocky island in the Adolphus Channel, just off Cape York. Its lower part is a solid concrete base; above it a white gallery deck with a metal railing carries a multi-sided lantern room with large glass panes showing green inside, under a domed roof with a small vent and a thin rod. A ladder is fixed to the right side near the base.

Eborac Island Light was established in 1921 as a square concrete hut 3 metres high, topped by a Chance Brothers lantern room with a 400 mm Fresnel lens. After significant cracking and deterioration, the tower was demolished to its concrete base and replaced in 2012 by a fibreglass hexagonal tower. Solar power had been installed on 8 August 1990.

The island's native name is Dyāra, recorded alongside the English name Eborac. It is one of the Torres Strait Islands, the group of islands scattered through the strait between Cape York and New Guinea. The lighthouse stands on a small rocky island in the Adolphus Channel, visible from the tip of Cape York.

The tower stands 6 metres tall, with a 3-metre concrete base below the lantern platform, and is visible from the tip of Cape York, which can be reached by four-wheel drive. The island itself is accessible only by boat, and both the site and the tower are closed to the public. A helipad is nearby.

The installation is maintained by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and requires boat transport for access, making its upkeep a logistical challenge in this remote maritime area. Solar power allows autonomous operation without permanent staff stationed on the island.
