Summary

Cape du Couedic Lighthouse on Kangaroo Island's south west was constructed between 1906-1919 from 2,000 pieces of local stone. Three four roomed cottages were also built of local stone and slate for the roofs. On the day the official party was due to land and officially open the lighthouse the weather was so bad that the signal was sent from the "Governor Musgrave" to the keeper onshore to commence operation.
