Remarkable Rocks — Attraction in Kangaroo Island

I had the pleasure of visiting the Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park this past weekend, and I must say I was completely blown away by the experience. The beauty and grandeur of these natural formations exceeded all of my expectations, leaving me in awe of the incredible power and creativity of nature.

The rocks themselves are colossal, with intricate shapes that are so unique and mysterious, it's hard to believe they were sculpted by the forces of wind and water. Each rock seemed to have its own distinct personality, and I found myself completely captivated by their otherworldly charm. The panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the expansive ocean beyond only added to the enchanting atmosphere.

One aspect of the visit that I particularly appreciated was the educational component. Throughout the site, there are informative plaques that explain the geological history and formation process of these remarkable rocks. This helped satisfy my curiosity about how such immense and peculiar structures could have come into existence.

The walk from the car park to the rocks is relatively short and easily accessible, making it convenient for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. Be sure to bring your camera, as the photo opportunities are endless – especially during sunrise or sunset when the light creates mesmerising patterns and shadows.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend a visit to Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park highly enough. It is an awe-inspiring experience that will leave you with a renewed appreciation for the wonders of our natural world. If you find yourself on Kangaroo Island, do not miss the chance to explore this truly unforgettable...

The postcard of kangaroo island. This unique rock formation is so strange but beautiful. There is also the jaw dropping view of the southern ocean in the background plus wind originated from Antarctica. Need some caution as the rock can be extremely dangerous. Keep well within the warning lines especially on the south side facing the ocean. Strong unpredictable gust is often and the surface can be slippery if wet. Some small rock formations allow you to climb up for a photo shot, but the large ones are prohibited from climbing. Also watch out for tiger snakes, even the baby snakes can kill. They often hide in the bush surround but can be found on the rock, especially between the gaps. There are also sand wallabies here, check for tail and paw marks on the sand, and you might spot one. Try visit late or stay til as late as possible for a different sunset view. Many prefer the latter. However, keep in mind that dark can make the rock even more dangerous, plus driving through darkness here is very risky. Ask a kangaroo about it when...

More than just the rocks which are clearly seen from afar as you stroll down the boardwalk, we saw an echidna at the bushes at the base of the rocks, early sunset mid-March. They're so cute when they waddle & you can get very close! Also, blue fairy wrens hop around the carpark if you are quiet, close to dusk. I like that we can walk between the rocks & explore. Small kids should be carried as the winds are strong & no rails. You shouldn't spend more than half an hour here. Must see Admirals' Arch after. 15km from the National Park visitors' centre, I highly recommend you stay overnight at the Heritage Accommodation (search Mays Homestead on Flinders Chase National Park website - the booking form is hard to find but the stay was easy & so worth it for the...
