About Spitfire Channel Range Front Lighthouse
A 14-meter tall white concrete tower, built on a square concrete platform resting on piles, serves as the front range marker for Spitfire Channel. With a focal height of 15 meters, it emits a quick white flash every 49 seconds (Q.W. 49). This operational structure is situated near Sandstone, Queensland, Australia. The site is accessible to the public, but entry into the tower is prohibited.
Why it matters: This marker functions as a navigation aid for vessels proceeding through a turn in the Spitfire Channel, helping to direct them away from hazards.
