About Mackay Main Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Mackay Main Breakwater (Bagley Point)
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1996, stands 5 meters tall with its focal plane at 8 meters. It is painted white and topped with red. The structure is a cylindrical concrete tower, located on the south main breakwater of Mackay Harbour. Its light emits a single red flash every 2 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself remains closed. A plaque on the lighthouse honors Charles F. Bagley, recognizing his contributions to the harbor's development.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels safely into and out of Mackay Harbour, a major port for Queensland's export industries. The red light serves as a critical visual marker for ships navigating the busy approach.
