About Sea Hill Light
Sea Hill Light was a lighthouse which was located on the northwest point of Curtis Island, Queensland, Australia. Its purpose was to mark the east side of the entrance to Keppel Bay, on passage to Fitzroy River and Port Alma. The first lighthouse at the locations, also known as Little Sea Hill Light, was constructed in 1873 or 1876, moved in the 1920s, and is now on display at the Gladstone Maritime Museum.
A second lighthouse was constructed in the 1920s, deactivated in 2006 and demolished in early 2009.
