List of lighthouses in Australia facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Australia has a very long coastline, stretching over 25,760 kilometres (16,010 mi)! Along this huge coast, you'll find more than 350 lighthouses and other helpful navigation lights. There's even one special lighthouse, the Point Malcolm lighthouse, that's located inland, not on the coast!

The very first lighthouse in Australia was the Macquarie Lighthouse. It was first lit way back in 1793, using a simple tripod with wood and coal fires to create light. Fast forward many years, the last lighthouse to have people working in it was the Maatsuyker Island Lighthouse off Tasmania. It became automatic in 1996, meaning machines took over the job of keeping the light shining.

Finding Lighthouses

Lighthouses and lightvessels (which are like floating lighthouses) in Australia are listed in special books and websites. These lists help ships and boats know where the lighthouses are. For example, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has a "List of Lights" (publication 111), and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office lists them in their "Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals."

You can also find Australian lighthouses listed by their location on "The Lighthouse Directory" website. They are grouped by different areas:

Another group called "Lighthouses of Australia Inc." also lists lighthouses, but they organize them by state:

  • Western Australia
  • Northern Territory
  • South Australia
  • Queensland
  • New South Wales
  • Victoria
  • Tasmania

There are other lists too, like the one on "Australian Lighthouses" and "SeaSide Lights." To be included in this article, a lighthouse must be active and appear on at least one of these main lists. Sometimes, older lighthouses are included if they are mentioned in other reliable sources.

Who Looks After Lighthouses?

Most lighthouses and lightvessels in Australia are looked after by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). However, AMSA usually only manages the lighting equipment inside the lighthouse. Local groups often manage the lighthouse buildings and the land around them, which are sometimes parks.

For example:

  • In New South Wales, the lighthouses and their surrounding areas are mostly managed by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water or the New South Wales Department of Lands.
  • In the Northern Territory, some lighthouses are managed by the Darwin Port Corporation.
  • In South Australia, some are managed by the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.
  • In Tasmania, the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service looks after many lighthouses.
  • In Victoria, port lights are maintained by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in the Melbourne area and by the Victorian Regional Channels Authority elsewhere. Parks are mostly managed by Parks Victoria.
  • In Western Australia, some lighthouses are managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation.

New South Wales

New South Wales has several "sibling" lighthouses. These are lighthouses designed by the same architect around the same time, making them look very similar. Some examples include:

Northern Territory

Many lighthouses in the Northern Territory were built during a special time called the "Golden Age of Australian Lighthouses," between 1913 and 1920. These include Cape Don Light, East Vernon Light, Emery Point Light, Cape Hotham Light and Cape Fourcroy.

Three of these, Cape Hotham Light, Emery Point Light and Cape Fourcroy Light, are like "siblings." They are almost identical white, square, skeletal towers. They also flash their lights in a similar way: three flashes every 15 seconds.
