Booby Island Light is an active lighthouse located on Booby Island, an island near the tip of Cape York Peninsula, west of Prince of Wales Island, within the Endeavour Strait, Queensland, Australia. It marks the western entrance to the navigation channel through the Torres Strait. It was the last of the major lights to be constructed along the Queensland coast. The lighthouse is conical, 18 m high, made of timber frame clad with galvanised iron. The tower is topped by the original 3,07 m diameter Chance Brothers lantern. It is painted white, with red dome of sheet copper. The dome is topped by a rounded knob and a weather vane. The light was first exhibited on 24 June 1890, and the total cost of construction was £6500. In 1963 the lighthouse was converted to electricity. In November 1991 the power source was converted to solar power. The light was fully automated and demanned in 1992.
