Kangaroo Island - Flinders Chase National Park.

After managing to get the washing done yesterday we decided to head to the western end of the island and work our way back.

It looks as if a lot of Flinders Chase National Park is closed for pig control but in actuality all the main tourist attractions are open.

This is Admiral Arch.

A longer lens allowed me to photograph these seals under the arch.

Is that a jetty all the way down there?

It certainly is. This was the jetty used to receive all supplies for the lighthouse keepers. Originally all goods were brought manually from the jetty up the cliff face. This channel was then manually cut through the rock to allow a flying fox to be used to haul the goods up.

Remarkable rocks.

Remarkable rocks.

This is the formation that is most recognisable but I found it almost the least interesting.

I found other weathered rocks more interesting.

I didn't expect to find this face.

Just like the haystacks there is much more to the site than the usual formation that you always see.

Kangaroo Island - Vivonne Beach

We spent the night in the council camp site at Vivonne Beach. While not free or even cheap 22.50 with limited facilities it was a great location. this beach and fresh water creek was just over a rise.

It was right near the mouth of the creek.

Kangaroo Island - Seal Bay

Where for a fee you can walk on the beach with the Australian Sea Lions.

Kangaroo Island - Seal Bay

An overview of the site. The closest board walk while still costing to walk out there is cheaper than the guided walk along the restricted board walk and down onto the beach like the small group of people in the distance.

Kangaroo Island - Seal Bay

The Sea Lions do not restrict themselves and are all through the low coastal heath well up from the beach. When it is cold they have ventured all the way into the visitor car park. This young lady is almost blocking our way on the path down to the boardwalk.
