Over 50 ships have been wrecked of the coastline since the first recorded shipwreck in 1847 with many loss of life, the first lighthouse to be built was in 1852 at Cape Willoughby. Kangaroo Island is Australia's newest wine producing regions with over 30 vineyards and 18 new labels; the wine is renowned for its strong varietals’ fruit flavors and intense colours.
