Nestled in a picturesque locale, the remarkable Troubridge Hill Lighthouse stands tall, constructed with unique wedge-shaped clay bricks. Its distinctive design was tailored to withstand the powerful gusts of wind and occassional earthquakes that plagued the area during the early 1900s.

Rising to an impressive height of 32 meters, this architectural marvel serves as a beacon of safety, guiding seafarers through treacherous waters. With a remarkable light range spanning 22 nautical miles, it ensures ships navigate with ease and avoid potential hazards.

Intriguingly, Troubridge Hill Lighthouse operates independently, relying on alternative power sources to illuminate the darkness. While primarily powered by mains electricity, a backup generator ensures a continuous flow of light even in adverse conditions.

Visiting Troubridge Hill Lighthouse offers an opportunity to marvel at its unique construction, learn about its resilient design, and appreciate the vital role it has played in maritime history.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
