Our 3rd and 4th day on Kangaroo Island. First up we decided to go down to the far end of the Island from where we are staying, into Flinders Chase National Park. We were greeted by these friendly Barron Geese.
First stop was Cape Du Couedic Light House. and some views around the Cape.
From there we went down, and down to the Admirals Arch.
The further we went down over the cliff, the colder and windier it got. Lots of fur seals were lazing around on the rocks.
When we reached the bottom of the stairs, the wind was gale force through the arch and it had started to rain. Coming straight off the Antarctic, coldest I have ever felt.!!
Just awesome to be able to see this, regardless of the cold.
The boardwalks into these areas are so well done, and make you feel quite safe.
A truly unique National park.
I followed this Roo around, trying to get a photo, and when I did I was amused at how he appears to be picking up a rock. Maybe he had thoughts of throwing it at me .
From there we drove around to Weirs Cove for a look. Back in the early days supplies were brought in by ship to the cove and hauled up the cliff by a flying fox. Goods were then stored in a building, which has now been partially restored.
I hope you like rock photos, because I had a great time taking lots of them at our next stop Kirkpatrick Point. They are called the Remarkable Rocks, carved by nature. Truly Remarkable eh?!!
OK, that’s enough, We walked the track back out of there, and left the park.
This little fellow was catching the last of the sun. He was so quiet I could walk right up to him.
No, Chris don’t do it !!
We called into Hanson Bay, and Vivonne Bay, on our way back to the accommodation, there are so many little caves around the cliffs on the Island.
It has been none stop 3 days, so our last day was a bit slower. Kangaroo Island is far bigger than we expected, and so much to see, we probably should have booked a week. On the last day we are still chasing rainbows as we go down to Seal Bay.
More boardwalks and still following that rainbow, we have been lucky with the weather, yes its cold, and a few showers, but not enough to stop us getting around.
Another beautiful Bay, where you can walk down the boardwalk and see the Seals resting in the sand dunes.
They are hard to see at first, but when you know what your looking for, and zoom in, its great fun watching them, loved watching this family.
My favourite, watching this one come to shore. As we travelled back up the coast and following that rainbow, we stopped in at Wheaton’s Beach.
Sea Dragon rock area.
How beautifully kept is the Willoughby Lighthouse grounds.
Antechamber Bay has a great camping area with this suspension bridge across the Chapman River
Now to the end of our day, and time on the Island a quick stop and pic of the trusty Triton as we came through the hills towards Penneshaw , where we had a walk in the park, before going down to board the ferry.
After a great few days we were ferried back to the mainland as the sun was going down.
So that’s it from.Kangaroo Island.
