Albino Rock Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Albino Rock Lighthouse
A square white concrete tower stands 5 meters tall on Albino Rock, a small islet at the southeastern end of the Palm Islands. Its focal plane is 26 meters above sea level, and it emits a white flash every 20 seconds. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 14.5 nautical miles. Construction plans were published in 1940, with the tower completed that same year. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse completed a chain of lights along the Queensland coast to Torres Strait, marking a hazard in the waters southeast of the Palm Islands and north of Townsville.
