Lady Elliot Island lighthouse.
We visited here recently with my dad. He grew up here on Lady Elliot Island in the 1920s as his parents were the lighthouse keepers. The old lighthouse was replaced in 1995 by a taller metal structure positioned very close by.
Lady Elliot Island, the southern-most coral cay of the Great Barrier Reef, is 46 nautical miles (85 km; 53 mi) north-east of Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. The lighthouse is located on the western side of the island. It was the third lighthouse erected in Queensland after its formation in 1859 and the first in Australia to be constructed of a timber frame clad with iron plates.
