The 7m high Mundoo Lighthouse, also known as the Pt Malcolm Lighthouse, was built in 1878 to mark the passage between Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert for paddle steamers traveling between Goolwa and Meningie. The light was turned off in September 1981 and replaced with an automtic 'light on a pole'.
The original white light revolved every ten seconds. It used seven gallons of mineral oil per month and had a visibility of ten miles. In November 1887 the lamp was altered to a fixed white light and in 1931 was replaced with an automatic 'light on a pole'.
The concrete lighthouse is Australia's smallest and only inland lighthouse.
