The Montague Island Lighthouse located on Barunguba Island is a heritage-listed, active lighthouse in the Tasman Sea, 9 kilometres offshore from Narooma on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The lighthouse is located at the highest point of the island. Built from granite, it was designed by James Barnet in 1873 and built in 1881. Barunguba Island has a rich history that suggests it was a fertile hunting ground for local indigenous people. The area is said to have been used for hunting Penguins and other animals prior to the construction of the lighthouse. The official lighting of the building was done in November of 1881. The light was originally powered by kerosene or oil, however, it is now solar-powered and boasts more efficiency than decades ago.
