Description:
The Annandale Range Front Lighthouse is located on Banks Point and was established in 1898, with Alfred Robertson being appointed its first keeper on October 5th of that year. The land for the Annandale Range Lights was purchased from Alfred Robertson, and George and Edwin McFarlane at a cost of $80, and a total of $2170.55 was expended for material and labour to construct the towers.
The first Annandale Front Range Light was a square wooden enclosed tower with sloping sides and surmounted by a square lantern. The tower stood 4 metres (13 feet) from base to vane, was painted white, and displayed a fixed-white light. The present square, pyramidal tower is 5.2 metres (17 feet) tall, but the bluff on which the tower rests gives the light a focal plane of 9.6 metres ( 31.5 feet). A vertical red stripe is located on the seaward face of the tower. The tower is situated 1,376 metres (4,514 feet) from its companion rear range light. Location: Located at Annandale Harbour.
