Cape Borda lightstation is closed for public safety following the recent bushfires.
The heritage cottages and buildings at the lightstation were saved in the January 2020 bushfires but the surrounding Flinders Chase National Park area was burnt.
We’re working to reopen Cape Borda cottage and lightstation for public access.
In the meantime, the good news is that green shoots are emerging from vegetation in Flinders Chase National Park and Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area and there are native animal sightings like goannas, eagles, kangaroos and KI echidnas.
Flinders Chase National Park is home to beautiful coastal landscapes and iconic features such as Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and Cape du Couedic Lighthouse.
It now offers an incredible opportunity to witness a landscape regenerating after fire and will be open soon for guided tours.
Until then Kangaroo Island is a big place and if you’re thinking about visiting, there’s still plenty to do. Round up some friends and plan a trip to Kangaroo Island with the help of southaustralia.com’s itineraries.
