Kangaroo Island (part 3)

Well, its a wrap, we have completed our adventures on Kangaroo Island by staying on the edge of Flinders Chase NP, and Brown Beach, with the final night back at Penneshaw ready for the ferry back next day. Thanks go out to some wonderful neighbours we met whilst camping, a fun bbq and chit chats. So interesting how people come and go in your life, but whilst you are with them you feel like you have known them forever. 

Best bay was Hanson Beach

Best natural sculptures were Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase NP

Arches was best vantage point for spending hours watching fur seals in Flinders Chase NP

Huge Black Boys in the region near Flinders Chase NP - this was in our campground

Best beach between Brown Bch and Island Bch, looking across to American River

We walked Brown beach as far as we could, up to these white cliffs covered in comorants

Best campground view, Penneshaw

Overall the Island is a great place to see a huge variety of wildlife all in one place.

Best unusual find was Weir Cove with remnants of an old home and storeroom and this is where they unloaded ships and winched up the materials to build and maintain the nearby lighthouse and keep the keepers with supplies from 1909 onward

 Not our best hike but a nice round trip walk from Arches to Cape du Couedic Lighthouse and back again to Arches carpark

Best rock was at American River

Best cliffs which are KI’s best kept secret, at the end of a 15km dirt road out of American River - Redbanks
