Lighthouses

小蘑菇阿咪Kuaidiq Point Lighthouse, also known as the End of the World Lighthouse, is located in the southwest corner of Kangaroo Island and is the only way to go to the flagship arch attraction of Flinders Chase National Park. The first lighthouse on Kangaroo Island was built in 1852 at Cape Willoughby, at the eastern end of the island, and in 1858 a lighthouse was built at Cape Borda, at the northwest end. Although there is a Cape Borda lighthouse at the northwest end, the captains seem to prefer to sail south of Kangaroo Island. There will still be ships in the southwest end of the Kuaidik Cape Cape du Couedic near the wreck, causing major casualties, so in 1902, and considering building a lighthouse at Kuaidik Cape, the actual construction of the Kuaidik Cape Lighthouse began in 1907, and the first appearance of the lighthouse was in 1909. The range is 27 nautical miles. The original light source of the Cape Codik lighthouse was kerosene, which was switched to acetylene in 1957 and was automated rather than manually operated, and by 1974 was replaced by electricity. The flag next to the lighthouse is still in use. The Cape Cod lighthouse is one of two lighthouses in Flinders Chase National Park and the other is the Cape Cod lighthouse at the northwest end. All the lighthouses on the island are still operating normally. The Cape Cod lighthouse can be approached but cannot be visited inside. The north side of the lighthouse has the original lighthouse guardian cabin, which has been included in the cultural heritage and has become the nearest tourist accommodation to the lighthouse. There are 3 cabins here, the house is fully equipped, but there are no restaurants or supermarkets around. We went to Kangaroo Island by boat from Adelaide. We stayed on the island for three days and two nights. We rented a car on the island and stayed at the Far Away Escape B&B in Kingscote. On the first day, we went to Cape Willoughby Conservation Park Cape Willoughby Conservation Park and the Americas River American River; The next day, I set off from Seal Bay, then Little Sahara Desert, Breeze Bay, Hansen Bay, all the way to Flinders Chase National Park; on the third day, I went to Kingscote, Tsuen Wan Lavender Flower Field, and Penneshaw, and had a great time!
