Remarkable Rocks & Admirals Arch
Surreal granite boulders sculpted by wind and sea on Kangaroo Island's wild south coast.
About Remarkable Rocks & Admirals Arch
On the wild south coast of Kangaroo Island, in Flinders Chase National Park, a cluster of enormous granite boulders sits perched on a bare granite dome 75m above the Southern Ocean. Sculpted by 500 million years of wind and sea, they look like a Henry Moore sculpture garden.
A short drive away, Admirals Arch — a natural rock arch above a colony of 7,000 long-nosed New Zealand fur seals — is equally dramatic.
