The Vlamingh Head lighthouse was completed in 1912 following the wreck of the SS Mildura in 1907. The lighthouse was powered with an illuminant 85mm vapourised kerosene, dioptric light (63,000 to 200,000 CP). The light flashed in a group of two at 3/10ths of a second every 7.5 seconds. The lighthouse overlooks Lighthouse Bay and stands on the northernmost tip of the Cape Range. Below and beyond is Indian Ocean. This lighthouse is no longer in operation.
