Cape Borda
Cape Borda is a headland located on the north west tip of Kangaroo Island in South Australia about west of the town of Kingscote. It was named after Jean-Charles de Borda (1733-1799), the French mathematician, physicist, naturalist and sailor, by the Baudin expedition to Australia during January 1803. It has been the site of an operating lighthouse since 1858 and is currently located within the Flinders Chase National Park.
==Description==
Cape Borda is located about west of Kingscote. It is the most north westerly point of the Kangaroo Island coast. It is the termination for a pair of coastlines - the western coastline extending from Cape du Couedic in the south and the northern coastline extending from Point Marsden in the east. It is described as ‘a bold cliffy headland, high’ with ‘the upper half of the cliff is formed of white limestone, and the lower half is very dark volcanic rock’ and that ‘the hills at the cape rise to a height of more than and are covered with small scrub.’〔
