Steampunk Lighthouse
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 lamps and housings were manufactured by Chance Brothers in England.
The light was converted to gas in 1890 and later converted to electricity in 1924.
