context_page_description: Cape Moreton is a rocky headland at the north eastern tip of Moreton Island in South East Queensland, Australia. The surrounding area is part of the Moreton Island National Park. Flinders Reef is 5 kilometres north-west of Cape Moreton.
  The outcrop is mostly composed of sandstone, but also some conglomerate, siltstone and shale. The whole of Moreton Island was formed by sand caught on and built up behind these rocks.
context_section_description: Cape Moreton Light was the first lighthouse established in Queensland. The 23 metres (75 ft) tall structure was constructed of locally quarried sandstone, and was built in 1857. 35 "good conduct" prisoners were used for labour.
  A pilot station was established at Bulwer on the northern end of the island in 1848. At one time there was a total of seven lighthouses in operation on the island.
  Cape Moreton Lighthouse Complex, consisting of the lighthouse, three keepers' cottages and associated structures, was registered on the Register of the National Estate in 1981.
