About Twofold Bay (Eden Harbour, Lookout Point) Lighthouse
A white and red wooden tower standing 13.7 meters tall was constructed in 1862 on Lookout Point, west of the current lighthouse location. This structure guided ships into Twofold Bay, a significant natural harbor. The lighthouse now emits a white flashing light every 6 seconds. Its focal height reaches 39 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 16.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse aids vessels entering Twofold Bay, a natural harbor supporting commercial and recreational traffic. Its historical position on Lookout Point highlights the bay's long-standing role as a maritime refuge.
