If you're on Kangaroo Island, this is a must do. Seal walk and walking tour starting at the info/cafe center. We were unlucky that it rained the whole time, but got to see lots of wallabies, a few kangaroos and birds. BUT no platypus. :-/ Nonetheless, worth the park entrance fee to see, smell, hear this wonderful nature. More

We loved seeing so much wildlife in Flinders Chase National Park. Wallabies, echidnas, fur seals, monitor lizards, etc. A very special place. More

We had a fabulous time exploring Flinders Chase National Park. We stayed at two of the heritage cottages - Woodward Hut at Cape Borda and Postman's Cottage at Rocky River. Highlights were sunset at Cape Borda, photography at Remarkable Rocks and watching the NZ fur seals relaxing and playing at Cape du Couedic. Make sure your hire car is allowed... More

The Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch are well worth the comfortable walk via the boardwalk. More

There are so many wonderful sights to capture and enjoy in this park! Good hiking trails, many quite easily accessible by almost anyone. If you are on a limited time-budget and in a small car, skip Cape Borda Light house as the road out there is something else, though the tour was very worthwhile and interesting. And we did see...

I am going to be really controversial by saying the Remarkables and Admirals Arch trump the Apostles on the Great Ocean road any-day! The Remarkable rocks almost look like installation pieces in a museum! We spent ages at Admirals Arch just mesmerised by the absolutely breathtaking scene before us. This is the raw power of nature at work as the... More

Can't add much more than what's already been written. Well worth the visit. Do try the honey ice cream in the visitors' center! It is heaven in your mouth. We liked it so much, we went back for another one! More
