East Vernon Light is an active lighthouse in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the Clarence Strait on the southern coast of East Vernon Island. The lighthouse guards the northeastern approach to Darwin.Шаблон:Sfn

History

The original lighthouse was constructed by the Commonwealth Lighthouse Service during the "Golden Age of Australian Lighthouses", between 1913 and 1920.[1] It was a square skeletal tower with a lantern and a gallery, about Шаблон:Convert high. The current red lighthouse was built on the same piles.Шаблон:Sfn

The light characteristic shown is a flash every five seconds, with a different colour depending on the direction: white on 250°-042° and -094°, red on -088° and green on -105°. The light is obscured elsewhere (Fl.W.R.G. 5s). The red and green lights are visible for Шаблон:Convert while the white light is visible for Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The site is accessible by boat and the tower is closed to the public. The light is operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.Шаблон:Sfn
