Whoops. I forgot to do a post for our second full day on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Traveling is a complicated process filled with unexpected delights, but also plagued by overlooked details. But I know that this comes as a blow to the less-than-a-handful of readers who’ve stuck with us this far. You have my humblest apologies.

Right. So, pretend it’s November 9, 2025!

Wow! What an unforgettable a day! I’m going to think about the day we just had every morning and never let the memory fade. Today was our second full day on Kangaroo Island, and we focused on exploring the landscape of the Flinders Chase National Park. Towards the end of the day, we planned to head back east in preparation for catching an early ferry the next morning.

Our first stop of the day was to go to the Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase. These rocks were part of the reason we’d come to Kangaroo Island. In researching places to go, I’d seen pictures of the rocks. Being a sucker for rocks, we had to go. And the rocks did not disappoint!

Wind and water have carved the rocks in to bizarre forms, many with fluid, knife-like edges.

For this one, we were impressed with how few points of contact the massive rock had with the ground.

This is the classic shot from the Remarkable Rocks. There was a plaque nearby showing some early 18th Century visitors in the same spot. Surpsingly, the rock was noticeably more worn today.

This one is just silly. Which is weird since Julie and I have been deadly serious on this trip.

Some of these rocks barely made sense.

Yep. More rocks. Remark away!

It was also great to see spring flowers.

It was heartening to see so much growth even among the remains of forest fires.

From the Remarkable Rocks, we drove to see the Admiral’s Arch. As we walked down the path to arch, we spotted some seals, which we always enjoy seeing.

Admiral’s Arch was pretty cool, too, albeit smelly from the birds nesting in the arch’s shelter. The path to the arch actually comes across the arch, so we didn’t see the arch until we looped underneath.

There was also a sign indicating that this area is a “last refuge” in case of forest fire. Yeesh.

It was a remarkable, memorable day, notwithstanding the fact that I forgot to do a post on it.
