Australia - Cape Du Couedic

 

At the southwestern tip of Kangaroo Island, within the boundaries of the Flinders Chase National Park, a striking wavy winding road leads to Cape du Couedic thru a dense forest.
There, on a wind-lashed promontory, stands a lighthouse which was built in 1906. ( In 1835 the island's largest shipwreck occurred nearby). Below is Admiral's Arch, a magnificent natural arch sculpted by the elements, which is used as playground by groups of New Zealand Fur Seals. They enjoy lazing on the rocks nearby, or playing in swells that would surely drown any human being!
A few kilometers from there, the Remarkable Rocks stand on a massive granite dome. They certainly live up to their name! They are a collection of boulders molded into an assortment of weird shapes by the action of wind and rain. Some have a covering of orange lichen giving them an even more dramatic effect.
