Flinders Chase National Park is big and wild and overwhelmingly barren. It is incredibly peaceful in its remoteness and now bursting with growth since the devastating bush fires. Shrubs are back to being thick and you get a feeling that this wilderness is thriving once more.
You would not be to remiss comparing this National Park to parts of Dartmoor in England, or even the lower moorlands of Scotland. Giant sweeping panoramas that might otherwise have been covered with heather in those parts of the world.
Thankfully, I came outside of the holiday season, as it really let you soak up how beautiful and amazing this place truly is. Everything from the vegetation to the ocean views were stunning. Wildlife was everywhere, though sadly (and often) dead on the road from vehicles.
I made the decision to travel from Kingscote on the east of the island, so see as much as I could, from Admiral's Arch, to the seals, lighthouses, wild moors and of course, Remarkable Rocks and ocean scapes. If you do visit Admiral's Arch, wait to be transfixed by the rolling waves and sea froth, as the water heaves and then breaks on the cliff side or rocks.
Take the time to get out the car and breath some of this amazing Adelaide wilderness on Kangaroo Island. There are little things...

The Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch are absolute must-sees. The surreal shapes of the rocks against the backdrop of the ocean are truly breathtaking, and the natural bridge of Admirals Arch is a marvel of nature's craftsmanship.

It's good to see the area reviving. Whilst visitors can go there, there's not a lot to see. It would be useful to have a progress report sign.....where is it up to now? What's in progress? An expected timeline. How are the koalas faring? Are they breeding with numbers coming up again? Is there enough food there now for the habitat to be sustainable for them? People go there because they're interested . There's a car park, a public loo, an official National Parks office. But that's pretty much it. People are going because they care. Embrace it! Give them information as to how they can make a donation, become a Friend and get progress reports etc. You got the centre stage nationally and internationally, under horrendous circumstances, use it for Flinders Chase,koalas, roos and other wildlife benefit and for...
