South Australia Day 4 – Western Kangaroo Island

Day 4 saw us exploring most of the western side of Kangaroo Island.  Almost the entire western part of the island (west of the West End Hwy) is National Park.  Our first stop was Cape Borda Lighthouse.  This is on the north west corner of the island, and takes over 30 kms of dirt road driving (from the intersection of the West End Hwy and Playford Hwy) to get to.  It was built in 1858, and reading about some of the history of the lighthouse, it sounds like it was a tough life. 

Kiama Lighthouse

Not long after I bought my MX5, I joined the MX5 club of NSW and then went on a club run down the south coast to Kiama.  There were about 45 MX5’s on the run and we gathered near the Kiama lighthouse.  This photo was taken on 19th March 2006 with my Sony point and shoot camera.

Incidentally, if you follow the link above to the MX5 club website, the banner at the top of the main page is a photo of a bunch of MX5’s parked near the Kiama lighthouse taken on the same day.
