Cape Borda Lighthouse
Cape Borda
A square stone lighthouse built in 1858 at the northwest corner of Kangaroo Island, standing on high cliffs. It is remote and quiet, and guided tours are available.
Cape Borda Lighthouse, built in 1858, is a rare square lighthouse. It stands on a cliff top about 150 meters above the sea at the northwest tip of Kangaroo Island, within Flinders Chase National Park. Guided tours explain the isolated family life of the early keepers. Nearby are a signal cannon and the keepers' graveyard. Cliff-top walks are available, and the nearby Harveys Return allows you to descend to the sea. The lighthouse is remote, and most of the roads are gravel, so allow plenty of time.
