Kangaroo Island adventure: Part 2 - Flinders Chase National Park

Flinders Chase National Park is a spectacular protected wilderness of jagged coastline, secluded beaches and coves, marine wildlife, forests, lighthouses and unspoilt vistas.
We walked down the well-maintained boardwalk to Admiral's Arch.

Peer closely at the boardwalk in the top right-hand corner of the next photo. The black space is the Arch.

The Arch sans tourists

.. and with

Here we saw New Zealand fur seals frolicking, swimming. sleeping, playing.....

We then drove to Weir Cove, a lovely secluded bay...

Here, in the 1890s supplies were winched up the precipitous cliff and stored in a storehouse.

The views all around were magnificent.

Then off to the Remarkable Rocks - 500 million years of sculpturing!

On the walk back we came across this little critter.

 At the back of the Flinders Chase Visitor Centre there were interpretation signs that explained the type of megafauna that used to live in this swamp.

Then it was off to Kingscote, the capital of Kangaroo Island where we discovered some heritage charm ...

 a quirky community art project fence outside a hardware store...

... took a stroll along the jetty

and checked out the pioneers in the cemetery at Reeves Point, the site of the first official European settlement in South Australia.

Another full day of exploring. We were pretty tired by the time we arrived at our next accommodation in American River.
