Split Point Lighthouse

Split Point Lighthouse is a historic 34-metre concrete lighthouse at Aireys Inlet on Victoria's Surf Coast along the Great Ocean Road. Built in 1891 to guide ships through Bass Strait after numerous wrecks, it remains an active aid to navigation. Known as the 'White Lady' for its white tower and red cap, it offers guided tours, panoramic coastal views, and is recognised as a heritage-listed landmark and filming location for the television series Round the Twist.

Visitors can expect a heritage-listed 1891 lighthouse set on a headland above Eagle Rock and Bass Strait. Access is by guided tour only, climbing 136 steps up a spiral staircase to the lantern room and balcony for 360-degree views of the Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road. The grounds include the keeper's precinct, interpretive displays, and photo opportunities. The site is compact, exposed to coastal weather, and surrounded by cliffs, beaches and walking tracks.

Constructed in 1891 following numerous shipwrecks along the Bass Strait coast, the lighthouse was built by Day Bros to a design by the Victorian Public Works Department. The 34-metre concrete tower with Chance Brothers lantern was first lit in 1891 and automated in 1919. It remains an active light and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register for its technical and historical importance to maritime navigation.

An iconic landmark of the Great Ocean Road and Surf Coast, the lighthouse is widely recognised as the 'White Lady' and as the filming location for the lighthouse in the 1990s children's television series Round the Twist, contributing to its cultural profile as a visitor attraction.
