Queenscliff Powder Store - Veterans Description for Public
The Queenscliff Powder Store, on Point Lonsdale Road, consists of two apricot-brick store buildings on the lighthouse site, one immediately below the lighthouse on the township side, the other on a low sand ridge between the main turning circle and the eastern beach. Both buildings have pitched roofs and thick brick walling. They are designed to be burst-proof, either to accommodate gunpowder or ammunition.
In 1865 the area now known as Point Lonsdale was designated a Battery Reserve and was essentially undeveloped land other than around the lighthouse area. At that stage the area boasted a timber lighthouse that had previously been the leading light at Queenscliff, a telegraph station, flagstaff and array of other assorted buildings including the powder magazine. These buildings have now all been demolished and in most cases replaced with new buildings including the concrete lighthouse built in 1901-02 and the pier built in 1889-90.
