The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Cape du Couedic on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Constructed between 1906–1909, it consists of a tower built from 2,000 pieces of local stone, together with three four-roomed cottages to house the head keeper and two assistants with their families. The light characteristic shows two flashes every ten seconds, emitted at a focal plane height of . A Fresnel lens made by Chance Brothers is used there. For many of its early years the site was inaccessible by land. Stores, materials and equipment brought by boat were hauled up to the lighthouse by a flying fox winching system originally powered by a pair of horses. Today the lighthouse is automated and visitors to the area can stay in the old keepers' cottages. ==See also== *List of lighthouses and lightvessels in Australia *''Loch Vennachar'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape du Couedic Lighthouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
