Cape Borda Lightstation offers visitors a glimpse into the maritime history of Kangaroo Island. Located on the northwestern tip of the island, this historic site provides panoramic views of the rugged coastline. The lighthouse, built in 1858, is square-shaped, which is unusual for Australian lighthouses. Visitors can take guided tours to learn about the lighthouse's operation and the lives of the lighthouse keepers. The museum displays artifacts and information about the area's history and shipwrecks. While the remote location adds to its charm, it also means limited amenities. The unsealed road leading to the site can be challenging for some vehicles. Despite this, many visitors find the journey worthwhile for the scenic beauty and historical significance. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot kangaroos, wallabies, and various bird species in the surrounding area. Overall, Cape Borda Lightstation offers an educational and scenic experience, though its isolated location may not suit all travelers.
