Commercial Rd Port Adelaide South Australia 5015 Port Adelaide Phone: (08) 8207 6255About
The lighthouse is Port Adelaide's icon. It stands at the end of Commercial Road marking the place where the city meets the River. Visitors can climb the seventy four steps and take in the views of Port Adelaide, the coast and back past the city to the Mount Lofty Ranges. The lighthouse was first lit in 1869 and originally stood at the entrance to the Port River. It was prefabricated in England of iron plates and shipped in pieces. It replaced the lightship Fitzjames which had been moored at the mouth of the Port River to mark the entrance to the harbour.
