Point Lookout Light is an active lighthouse on Point Lookout, a headland on North Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia.
History
A proposal for a lighthouse and a signal station on Point Lookout were made as early as 1825.[1] A pilot station was built in 1825 elsewhere on the island, on Amity Point, lighting the South Passage into Moreton Bay.[2] In 1848 this pilot station was also moved.[1]
A lighthouse on Point Lookout was finally constructed in 1932, the first settlement at the point. The light source was a carbide lamp operated by acetylene gas, and a hut for storage of the gas cylinders was built at the close by beach, which was to be named Cylinder Beach for this reason.[1]
