Cape Moreton was the first lighthouse
to be built in Queensland,It was built
because of the increasing traffic to the
northern coast , but for a long time was
the only light on the 3,236 miles of coastline.
The entrance into Moreton Bay, near the island,
is scattered with wrecks that attest the the
notoriousness of the bay.
The tower is constructed of sandstone
quarried on the island.
It stands on a rare rocky promotory on a
sand island.
The tower was extended in 1928 and is
now 23 metres.
The original light source oil wick.
It was converted in in 1930 to pressurised
actelylene gas.
This installation did not continue for long
as in 1937 the apparatus was converted
to 240v electricity.
Solar conversion took place in 1993.
The lighthouse is on the northern point of
Moreton Island.
On the west side of the island is Tangalooma
which was also once home to Queensland's
first and only whaling station from 1952 to 1962.
