Next morning, we explored the Flinders Chase National Park, a national park encompassing stunning coastal landscapes, vast areas of wilderness and diversity of wildlife. We managed to catch a glimpse of the abundance of wildlife roaming freely.
Along our way to our highlight of the day, the Remarkable Rocks, we stopped by at the Bunker Hill Lookout …
and by the road side …
… to catch the scenic view of the Rocks.
The Remarkable Rocks, one of the best known icons of Kangaroo island, are a cluster of precariously balanced granite boulders. This stunning work of nature, perched above the sea in Flinders Chase National Park has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years. The golden orange lichen covering some of the rocks offers visitors wonderful photo opportunities at different times of the day.

Then, we proceeded to the nearby Admirals Arch, a spectacular natural rock arch, sculpted by weathering and erosion from the sea over thousands of years.
It is also home to a colony of frolicking fur seals.
Along the boardwalk in the other direction, we touched Kangaroo Island’s southwest tip at the magnificent sandstone Cape Du Couedic lighthouse tower.
Finally, its lunch time where we had a picnic lunch at the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre.
After lunch, its time to head back through the north coast to catch our ferry at 7.30pm. Along the way, we stopped by at the Parndana Wildlife Park.
Moving on, we had a brief stop at American River.
Soon enough, we were back at Penneshaw where we had a quick fish and chips meal at the bistro.
After dinner, we hop on the Sealink ferry, …
arriving back at Cape Jervis at 8.30pm.
This is then followed by our coach transfer from Cape Jervis to Adelaide, arriving at about 10.30pm, before our flight out to Sydney the next morning.
