About Corbett Reef Lighthouse
This fiberglass tower stands 12 meters tall and 21 meters above sea level, guiding vessels through a narrow passage between reefs northwest of Cape Melville, Australia. The structure rests on a platform supported by four concrete piles. Its white light flashes once every 7.5 seconds, visible for 13.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated in a challenging marine environment with complex underwater topography. The site is open to visitors arriving by sea, though the tower itself is not accessible.
Why it matters: The Corbett Reef lighthouse marks a critical, narrow passage between reefs, significantly reducing the risk of groundings in an area known for its challenging underwater landscape.
