Summary

Cape Willoughby Lighthouse, situated at the eastern point of Kangaroo Island, to assist shipping in Backstairs Passage. At its base, two men, probably the lighthouse keepers, pose for the photographer. Built in 1852, the Cape Willoughby Lighthouse, originally known as the Sturt Light after Captain Charles Sturt, is the oldest in South Australia. The original lantern house was removed in 1974 when the lighthouse was fully automated.
