About North Bluff Lighthouse
Built in 1867, the North Bluff Lighthouse is a hexagonal wood tower standing 10.5 meters tall. Located near the northern end of Woody Island in Queensland's Great Sandy National Park, it was formerly equipped with a lantern and gallery. Although it has been inactive since 1959, the site remains open to the public. The tower itself is currently in ruins and closed off. In 2017, a $250,000 restoration grant was announced by the state government.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's original design was architecturally similar to the Middle Bluff lighthouse, indicating a standardized approach to regional navigation aids. The announced restoration project suggests potential for cultural and historical tourism.
