Tiparra Reef
Tiparra Reef is a reef located in Spencer Gulf in South Australia about west of the town of Port Hughes.
The reef is described as being "a bank of sand, in extent, with depths of less than, that lies in the middle of Tiparra Bay" with a"limestone ledge, long in a N S direction and about wide, that just dries, lies on the S W end of the reef N W of Cape Elizabeth".
The limestone ledge was the site of an operational lighthouse from August 1877 until 1995 when its service was largely replaced by a light tower located on Warburto Point about to the north-east. Much of the lighthouse structure remains in place along with a minor navigation aid consisting of a flashing light.
