Eclipse Island Lighthouse

Eclipse Island Lighthouse is an active lighthouse in Eclipse Island off the south coast of Western Australia

History
It was built in 1926 as a cylindrical tower made of concrete. Initially, it was a staffed light using kerosene as lantern fuel in combination with a first order Fresnel lens. In 1976 the lantern was completely removed and the optic was put on display at the Western Australian Museum. Today the light is emitted from atop a mast on the lighthouse's concrete trunk. The characteristic is a group of three flashes every twelve seconds from a focal plane at 117 m above sea level.

Three family quarters made of brick with fibro roofing along with several outbuildings, concrete tanks and bases, generator shed, helipad and a concrete landing can be found around the lighthouse. A trestle based light gauge railway and cable towers are also found in the lighthouse precinct, and was all constructed during the interwar period.
