Pine Islet Lighthouse Qld
When we originally came across this lighthouse at Mackay Marina we were unable to find it on a map to know what it was called but the States of the Nation competition made us try that bit harder. We now know! The lighthouse was built in 1885 and was moved to Mackay 100 years later. There were only twelve lighthouses of this design built and is unique to Queensland. When the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1985 it was the last kerosene lighthouse in Australia.
