Description

Lighthouses of VIC - White Lighthouse

The White Lighthouse at Queenscliff is the lower light of the two lighthouses at Queenscliff, and along with two steel towers guides ships through the Rip and into Port Phillip Bay.

The white lighthouse at Queenscliff was built 1862 to replace an earlier wooden lighthouse erected in 1853. It is built of the same bluestone that was used to build the Black Lighthouse but was painted white to distinguish it in daylight. The new light was built in conjunction with the White (Low) Lighthouse and therefore had many similarities in design.

The lighthouse forms the front, or low, of a system of lights that gives mid-channel direction when in line with the High Light.

Height: 22 metres
Elevation: 29 metres
Pattern: Continuous White and Red Sectors

The car park was full on seagulls...I had to drive very slowly to give them time to disperse.

#GA5697 - 12:10; Out on a day tour to Queenscliffe with the geomum and grabbed a snap of a couple of lighthouses while we were in the area. Managed to collect a few caches on the day and nice to add another lighthouse or two as well! TFTC Team MavEtJu Very HappyClan Cerberus

We were adventure labbing in the Point Lonsdale area today and used the opportunity to grab a few GCA caches in the area as well, this one was on our hit list. A q at Guick find at GZ, they certainly standout. TFTC

The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when travelling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual CO’s, the fantastic photo opportunities and sometimes finding places that even some locals don’t know about. I, like most cachers, look for more than a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most CO’s take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. I love travelling this big land of ours. I love taking the roads less travelled seeing the sights, the amazing colours, the natural beauty. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. Dancing
I love the different coffee shops I find. I love every different thing I photograph. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own. I enjoy taking my time and meandering around rather than going from one cache to the next and so on… The geocaches are a great bonus of my travels. It's amazing to see the country in the eyes of a Geocacher. Thank you for adding this cache to my real-life treasure hunt. I appreciate your efforts Team MavEtJu. Clapping

This was close to our lunch spot while on today's glorious walk around here. Dancing While setting up to take the 'group shot', I figured that by turning the camera about 135 degrees, I could also grab this one - which I did at 12:15. Very Happy

Many thanks Team MavEtJu.

It was great to be able to get up close to this one, the black one we’d tried earlier was only available to be viewed from a distance, unless you were part of a paid tour.
Queenscliff is such a beautiful area and it was great to spend the long weekend in the vicinity.
The weather was perfect and most conducive to our Geocaching activities.
Thanks for bringing us here Team MavEtJu, via your Lighthouse Virtuals.

First black, then wihite. No problems at this location today, not even needing to step out of the car into the cold wind and chilling setting sun today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for the geocache placed here for us to find today.
