Bustard Head Light is an active lighthouse located on the southeast tip of Bustard Head, a headland, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northwest of Seventeen Seventy, in the Australian state of Queensland, within the Eurimbula National Park and locality of Eurimbula.

[5][5] It is also one of the first in Australia to be constructed using bolted prefabricated segments of cast iron,[5] and one of only two such lighthouses in Queensland, the other being its sibling, Sandy Cape Light.

[7] In 1862, the Queensland government appointed the first Portmaster, Commander George Poynter Heath.

[5] The lighthouse was automated during 1985–86, and finally de-manned in 1986,[5] leaving it to neglect and vandalism for the next 16 years.

In 2001 the Bustard Head Lighthouse Association, a volunteer organisation led by Stuart Buchanan, obtained a twenty-year lease on the premises and started restoring it using funds from a federal grant, local businesses and self-funding.

It stands 18 metres (59 ft) high, constructed of prefabricated cast iron plates, and painted white, with splayed flanges at the base, much like the Sandy Cape Light.

[5] Entrance to the lighthouse was originally via an external flight of stairs and a small landing leading to a door on the second floor.

The dome of the lantern is copper clad and painted red, and itself topped with a spherical knob and a weather vane.

[5] Also on the premises is a cemetery surrounded by a white picket fence, located about 300 metres (980 ft) northeast of the station.
