Port Adelaide Lighthouse
Australia
Port Adelaide Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the North Parade of Port Adelaide. It was first lit in 1869 at the entrance to the Port River near Outer Harbor. In 1901, it was moved to the Neptune Islands and relocated to the current location in 1986. It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register since 1980. It is lit on Saturdays.
The Port Adelaide Lighthouse originally stood at the mouth to the Port River in Port Adelaide from 1869 until 1901. In 1901 the lighthouse structure was re-located to South Neptune Island. The lantern and lens was used in the new Wonga Shoal Lighthouse built south of the entrance to the Port River.
The tower was dismantled, moved back the the wharf at Port Adelaide.
