About
Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, also known as the Point Lonsdale Signal Station, is close to the township of Point Lonsdale in the Borough of Queenscliffe, Victoria, Australia. It stands at the eastern end of the Bellarine Peninsula, on the western side of the entrance to Port Phillip from Bass Strait, on a headland overlooking The Rip, a stretch of water considered one of the more treacherous navigable passages in the world, and the only seaborne approach to Melbourne. It is operated by the Victorian Ports Corporation.
