Cape du Couedic Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Flinders Chase National Park, Australia
The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse rises 25 meters above the rocky coastline of Kangaroo Island, featuring a white tower with a distinguishing red band.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1906 using 2,000 pieces of local limestone, completing in 1909 to prevent ships from crashing on the dangerous coast.
Three four-room cottages next to the lighthouse housed the head keeper and two assistants who maintained the light and provided navigation services until 1995.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds through Flinders Chase National Park, with parking available near the structure and at Admirals Arch walking trail.
The lighthouse sits at 103 meters above sea level and uses a Fresnel lens from Chance Brothers to project two distinct flashes every ten seconds.
