About Lady Bay Lower Lighthouse
Also known as: Lady Bay Lower (Range Front)
This square stone tower stands 8 meters tall and was built in 1854. Originally an unlit obelisk, its function changed in 1871 when the lantern from the former Lady Bay Beach Light was moved to its summit. The structure is painted white with red trim, and its lantern roof is also red. The lighthouse is situated at the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum in Warrnambool, Victoria. It emits a blue light with two flashes every 2 seconds. The focal height of the light is 27 meters, providing a geographic range of 14.7 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The Lady Bay Lower lighthouse is a key component of the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum, allowing visitors to connect with Warrnambool's maritime history. Its unique adaptation from an obelisk to a functioning light illustrates the practical evolution of navigational aids.
