Emery Point Light is an active lighthouse located at Larrakeyah Barracks, the main base for the Australian Defence Force in Northern Territory, Australia, at the entrance to Port Darwin.
[1] Its construction was part of the "Golden Age of Australian Lighthouses", taking place between 1913 and 1920.
Emery Point Light was the only navigational aid to remain functional in the path of the storm.
It was named after a Lieutenant Emery, who discovered fresh water at the base of the cliff.
[7][4] The site and the tower are inside a military base and are closed to the public, though a sea view is possible.
