| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Cape Banks Lighthouse, Canunda National Park |
| Registered Name |
Cape Banks Lighthouse North of Carpenter Rocks |
| Significance |
The Cape Banks Lighthouse is important in the maritime history of South Australia and the establishment of navigation aids during the late 19th century. It represents developments in lighthouse technology and design of the time. The lantern house, re-used from the original Cape Northumberland Lighthouse, is of particular significance as one of only three Deville and Company lanterns remaining in Australia. Like one of the other lanterns (at Cape Borda) the lantern house at Cape Banks is of a distinctive fourteen-sided design. (HSA Assessment Report 1999) |
