———————////
Nestled on Marine Parade in Kingston SE, this iconic structure showcases the daring feats of nineteenth-century skill and ingenuity, preserved on land for over 47 years by the National Trust of South Australia. Originally built, 8kms offshore on a treacherous reef in 1872, the structure symbolised security, reassurance and hope for the South Australian South East coast.
?
Founded on the best principles of British engineering of the Victoran-era, it is a testament to the boldness of its construction in a harsh and unforgiving environment, constantly battered by the power of the Southern Ocean circum-polar current.
