Cape Du Couedic Lightstation Heritage Accommodation Review

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!

Kangaroo Island Red Hat Lighthouse and Tower Guardian's Cabin Kangaroo Island have three lighthouses. This red hat lighthouse is the Dukaodik Point Lighthouse established in 1902. The tower guard cabin next to it can stay and experience the life of the lighthouse guardian. However, there are only three wooden houses, called "cape du couedic lightstation heritage accommodation", which are very popular and are said to have become a world heritage. This cabin is self-service and has no service staff. Each building has three bedrooms, which can accommodate up to 6 people. It is suitable for a family or a group of friends. There is also a living room and kitchen with complete kitchenware. The interior decoration and furniture of the house are exquisite and very beautiful. However, there is no business around, and you have to prepare all the food and drink to live here. The cabin requires two days to book, and the price is AUD 57 for two nights. But there is no signal, no matter the phone or the network, the isolated wild place, there are very few people, you have to have a considerable confidence and awareness of your various equipment, otherwise no one can care about the problem, so I like this hotel very much, but I don't know how to choose. If you don't live in a cabin, you can camp. Of course, you need to pay for camping fees and there are some fixed picnic areas. Rock River Camping Camp is fully equipped, including hot showers, in addition to the postman cabin or corn home hostel (Mays Homestead), you can also live. Tickets for the national park should be bought "consciously" at the visitor center. It costs AUD 11 per person a day and 16 for two days. The car is not only charged but only registered the car number, and the receipt is posted on the front windshield. If you spend the night, the car will be charged. The northeast direction not far from the hut is Tsuen Wan (Weirs Cove Ruin), which was transported from here a hundred years ago, and built the tower guard's hut. At that time, the tool conditions were very limited and the process was difficult. First ship here, then transfer to the boat, then ship to the 90-meter-high cliff, the daily necessities and fresh water needed by the guardians are also shipped ashore. It was not until 1907 that the jetty and the flying fox (a word that doesn't translate very well, a roller machine) were built that the delivery was a little easier. Land transport began in 1930, and the first trucks arrived in the mid-1940s via a rugged path from the Rocky River, where life and scenery have changed. Today's remains are a spiky broken house frame, which was there before the lighthouse was built and has long been abandoned, which is the warehouse and water storage facilities of the year.
