Remarkable Rocks and Caves in Flinders Chase

, , , ,

About our time exploring Flinders Chase on Kangaroo Island – Travel log no. 64

In the morning I woke up by a guy responsible for cleaning the rest area. My hammock was set up right under the roof of a rest area close to the beach. My friends were camping in the rooftop tent right on the beach.

The cleaning guy was probably as surprised as I was. But without consequences he let us stay and started cleaning the place.

After breakfast we had to rescue a guy who got stuck on the beach with his car. No big challenge for Florian’s 4×4.

With a good feeling we left Snelling’s Beach to Flinders Chase. The main attraction of the island.

First of all we explored the Remarkable Rocks which are really remarkable. Like Uluru or Ayers Rock the remarkable rocks were generated through lava pushing towards the sky.

Granite stones the size of houses are resting on the main block of the Remarkable Rocks.

The granite boulders on top of the main rock are shaped in all kind of interesting ways and are just lying loose on the main rock.

Following that we checked out the second attraction of Flinders Chase. The Admiral Arch which is also the home to a bunch of seals.

The Admiral Arch is home to many seals. It is fun to watch them playing in the little water pools. Even though the environment seems pretty rough.

This lighthouse is build just on top of the Admiral Arch.

At the night we stayed on the Snake Lagoon Campground in the middle of the park. Before that we failed to find some Platypus an animal native to this Flinders Chase.

I slept inside the car save from the rain. Getting the rest needed for the hiking planned for the next morning.
