Australia has a coastline of 25,760 kilometres (16,010 mi),[1] with over 350 lighthouses and navigational aids around the Australian coastline,[2] and a single inland lighthouse, the Point Malcolm lighthouse.[3]
The first lighthouse was Macquarie Lighthouse, which was lit in 1793 as a tripod mounted wood and coal fired beacon.[2][4] The last staffed lighthouse was Maatsuyker Island Lighthouse, off the south coast of Tasmania, which was automated in 1996.[2]
