Unusual I guess, in the fact that the Lighthouse is black... But there is another lighthouse, and ofcoarse, that one is white..
It is located just a little way down the coast, at Point Lonsdale.

Guns on display just outside Ft. Queenscliff, which was developed between 1850 and 1880.
Ships fixing their position in relation to the first two lighthouses can navigate The Rip. Between those lighthouses was built Fort Queenscliff, one of a defensive network of armed stations guarding the entrance to Port Phillip.
During the 1880s Queenscliff was the most fortified port in the Southern Hemisphere.

OK, I know... not the most ladylike position...
Never did learn to ride side saddle... ha,ha...
Actually, this was an interesting place to visit, lots of history about Ft. Queenscliff. There is also a museum here, which tells about the past of this region.

On Good Friday, Queenscliff held a Seafood Festival on the foreshore.
It was in aid of The Children's Hospital Appeal, so a lot of people turned up for the outdoor event.
They had great music all day, from classic rock, blues, pop... oldies..
A very enjoyable day..
