Cliffy Island Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Cliffy Island Lighthouse
Built in 1884, this lighthouse stands on Cliffy Island, a steep-sided island that forms the peak of a submerged granite mountain in Bass Strait. It emits a white flash every five seconds. The light source and its Fresnel lens are positioned 52 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 15 nautical miles. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority operates the lighthouse, while the Victoria Department of Conservation and Natural Resources manages the site. Access to the island is restricted to helicopters, and the location is not open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of submerged rocks within Bass Strait.
