The morning started slow with breakfast, walking on the beach and swimming, at some point Mo said, we have a visitor, it turned out to be a pelican which was fishing just in front of our camping spot. We went to take pictures and discover a few more. Amazing big birds!.
We packed up and drove to the other side of the island. In Flinders Chase National park there where a few things to see. The animal sanctuary did not look as interesting as on paper, so we did not book a spot. We continued into the national park and stopped at the visitors center to pay the entrance fee only to find out it was fee until easter.
We had put the GPS to the remarkable rocks, but first stopped at the lighthouse near the Admirals arch. When we walked down the boardwalk toward the cliff we suddenly notices some sea-lions laying on the cliffs down below and after we saw one we saw a second, an third and then many more. Just like with the first stars at night. It was so nice to see these huge creatures in the natural habitat.
Continuing down the stairs we came to the arch that give this land tongue it’s name.
The next stop was the Remarkable Rocks. When we got out of the car another car stopped and when we where greeted friendly by a Korean (?) family. They had been on the same ferry as us and I had gotten a sea sickness bag for the lady. According to the son she had been talking a long time about that act of kindness, which just seemed the right thing to do at the time.
We walked the board walk to the Remarkable rocks and in deed these by rain and wind formed rocks, where pretty nice, especially considering the rest of the surroundings.
We tried to find some of the camping spot that should be on this side of the island, but all tracks leading to them where closed, so we decided to go back to the wonder spot we left this morning. As it was getting pretty dusky the activity of wild life intensified, on a 45 minute trip we saw several walibis and an dozen kangaroos. a few of them dangerously close in front of the car, I am glad the breaks and ABS worked properly.
Another nice evening at an amazing spot.
