Moreton Island lighthouses

The southern entrance was therefore marked in 1825 and a pilot station was established at Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island in 1827.

Yellow Patch Light was located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) southwest of North Point.

An 1877 book describes it as a 43 feet (13 m) high wooden tower, showing a fixed white light.

[2] A 1909 listing describes it as a square wooden lightroom, carrying a fixed fourth order dioptric apparatus.

The light shown was red and white sectors, visible for 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).
