About Darwin Area Lighthouses Lighthouse
This skeletal cast iron tower stands 32 meters tall and features red and white horizontal bands. It is a hexagonal pyramidal structure with a central cylinder, lantern, and gallery. The light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds, with a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower cannot be entered. It is located in the Beagle Gulf, about 40 kilometers west of Darwin.
Why it matters: This light marks the southern approach to the Beagle Gulf, a significant waterway, and warns mariners of the Fish Reef hazard.
