The South Australian Biodiversity Gallery brings into sharp focus the land and marine wildlife of South Australia, with touch screens, interactive elements and a wealth of information.
After an early breakfast, we will depart Adelaide for glorious Kangaroo Island!
Departing on the ferry from Cape Jervis at 1000 and arriving into Penneshaw at 1045.
After lunch, we will head to Seal Bay, which is about 70 minutes drive from Penneshaw.
Following Vionne Bay, we will head to our accommodation - stopping off to get groceries on the way.
Please note, accommodation is subject to change.
Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse is just over 1-hour drive from Seal Bay and only a few hundred metres away from the Admirals Arch.
Located within Flinders Chase National Park, Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse is a beautiful stone-built lighthouse.
The need for a lighthouse in that area has been a great one for many years, as the treacherous waters already boasted a number of casualties including three shipwrecks that had claimed 79 lives.
Admirals Arch is a natural arch-shaped cave carved by the forces of nature over millions of years.
There is a well-maintained boardwalk from the car park to the Admirals Arch. Along this walk, you will also find a spectacular view of this stunning coastline!
Weirs Cove Ruins is only a 5-minute drive from the Admirals Arch. It is the remains of a storehouse built during the construction of Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse.
We will stop for a picnic or cafe stop on the way to Flinders Chase.
Stokes Bay is a hidden paradise on the northern coast of Kangaroo Island. At first glance, there is nothing special about Stokes Bay. It even appeared a bit underwhelming when we first arrived. However, please do not turn around and leave because the best bits of Stokes Bay is hidden behind a rock tunnel.
The actual Stokes Bay Beach is located behind a rock tunnel. Once you have arrived at the carpark, you need to follow the pebbles towards the giant rocks. Make sure you look for a ‘Beach’ sign, as it marks the beginning of the rock tunnel towards Stokes Bay Beach.
Flinders Chase National Park is a must for any Kangaroo Island parks adventure. This vast area of wilderness features the iconic Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and a long-nosed fur seal colony.
Sitting high on ancient rocky platforms above the sea, Remarkable Rocks’ surreal shapes and golden orange colours provide extraordinary photo opportunities. Admirals Arch at Cape du Couedic is not only an impressive rock arch, weather worn over thousands of years, it’s also home to a colony of long-nosed fur seals.
Flinders Chase National Park is recovering naturally following the 2019 – 20 summer bushfires, which burnt 96 per cent of the park (and the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area). Bushfires have played an integral part in shaping the ecology of the Australian landscape for millions of years. Many native plant species are adapted to survive, regenerate and thrive after fire and much of the park is regaining its green cloak of coastal health, mallee woodland and eucalypt forest. Goannas, koalas, eagles, kangaroos and echidnas are regularly spotted in the park.
Visitors can be part of the bushfire recovery journey by driving re-opened roads, including Cape du Couedic Road (and the wavy section which has become one of the most insta-famous roads in South Australia), visiting Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and Weirs Cove and camping at West Bay and Harvey’s Return.
Returning to Penneshaw for the ferry home.
Departing at 1330 and arriving into Cape Jervis at 1415.
Departing Adelaide in the evening (around 20:00 depending on the arrival airport).
