Article from The Observer “Gladstone” THE historic Sea Hill Lighthouse originally erected on Curtis Island will be installed at the new East Shores precinct near the mouth of Auckland Creek.
The lighthouse will join other artefacts from Gladstone's Maritime Museum, including navigational buoys, anchors, and bollards from the old Auckland Point Wharf.
The lighthouse was originally erected at Sea Hill Point at the north-west end of Curtis Island in the late 1800s to aid coastal navigation by marking the east side of the entrance to Keppel Bay, on a passage to Fitzroy River and Port Alma.
