Bustard Head Light is an active lighthouse located on the southeast tip of Bustard Head, a headland, about 20 kilometres northwest of 1770, Queensland, Australia, within the Eurimbula National Park. Built in 1868, it is the second oldest lightstation in Queensland, following Cape Moreton Light, and the first to be built in Queensland after its formation in 1859. In May 1932 the original cottages were destroyed in fire. In 1935 the stairs which were originally outside the tower were relocated within the tower. The lighthouse was automated during 1985-1986, and finally demanned in 1986, leaving it to neglect and vandalism for the next 16 years. In 2001 the Bustard Head Lighthouse Association, a volunteer organization led by Stuart Buchanan, obtained a twenty year lease on the premises and started restoring it using funds from a federal grant, local businesses and self funding. The station was fully restored, and it is now managed by the association. The lighthouse is conical in form. It stands 18 metres high, constructed of prefabricated cast iron plates, and painted white, with splayed flanges at the base, much like the Sandy Cape Light. (Source by Wikipedia)
