A Square Lighthouse!

Today we had a long trip to the other side of the Island. Half of the trip was along a bumpy dirt road. On the way we stopped off at the lighthouse cemetery.




From Scott's Cove we saw the highest sea cliffs in South Australia.




Brian, Janet and Jean




Because the cliffs are so high here the lighthouse did not need to be tall and strong so they could build it low and square.




It is built straight onto fairly bare rock.




This is the light that still beams out over the sea.








Here is the Kangaroo Island version of the grass tree. It is thicker and seems stronger than the Victorian grass tree.




On our return I walked around Kingscote and found the old cemetery at Reeves Point the first place in South Australia settled by the English.
