Bathurst Lighthouse is one of two lighthouses on Rottnest Island, the other being Wadjemup Lighthouse. It is located on , in the northeast of the island, and was activated in 1900. The lighthouse was erected in response to a series of shipping disasters in the area, which included the loss of City of York in 1899. The light source and lantern house were originally to be used at Cape Leeuwin but were then built in on Rottnest Island. In 1920 the original acetylene flame was replaced by a flasher, which made the keeper superfluous. An electric light was installed in 1986.

Bathurst Lighthouse serves as the rear light in the pair of Kingston Reef's leading lights, which guide ships departing from Fremantle through the reefs near the island. Its light is characterised by a group of four flashes that occurs every sixteen seconds. (en)
- Das Bathurst Lighthouse ist einer von zwei Leuchttürmen auf Rottnest Island, der andere ist das Wadjemup Lighthouse. Die Insel Rottnest Island befindet sich in Western Australia in der Nähe von Perth. Das Bathurst Lighthouse befindet sich am im Nordosten der Insel und wurde im Jahr 1900 in Betrieb genommen, da es eine Reihe von Schiffsunfällen in diesem Gebiet gegeben hatte, darunter den Verlust des Schiffes City of York 1899. Die Leuchte und das Laternenhaus waren ursprünglich für den Leuchtturm Cape Leeuwin vorgesehen, dort aber nie eingesetzt. 1920 wurde die ursprünglich ununterbrochene Azetylenflamme durch einen Acetylenblitz ersetzt. Gleichzeitig wurden die Leuchtturmwärter abgezogen. Elektrisches Licht wurde im Jahr 1986 installiert. Das Bathurst Lighthouse ergänzt das Wadjemup Lighthouse. Sie sollen die Schiffe von und nach Fremantle sicher durch das Kingston Reef führen. Die Taktung des Lichtes beträgt vier Blitze alle 16 Sekunden. (de)
