History of Vaucluse It is said that before the European occupation, the Birrabirragal aboriginal clan used to live in the area where Vaucluse is now located. Not long after settlers arrived in the area, a makeshift signalling station was built on the ridge overlooking the ocean, which served as a signal if a ship was approaching. The structure was later replaced by a formal signal station in 1811, followed by the Macquire Lighthouse that was established south of the station in 1816.

The suburb’s name was derived from the village in Provence, France, called Fontaine de Vaucluse.
