The Remarkable Rocks in the Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia have been weathered into strange and unique shapes - many visitors enjoy picking out familiar objects in the formations, such as giant chairs and hooks. Enhancing their beauty are the colours in the granite uncovered as the rocks are worn down - blues, blacks and pinks play across the surface of the rocks.

Nature has carved the well-named Remarkable Rocks in the Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, SA, Australia. On top of a huge dome-shaped granite mound are many weirdly shaped granite boulders. Their cavernous shell like appearance is a result of rock being dissolved. Water collecting in cracks and on surfaces, is protected from sunlight and wind, and gradually weathers the rocks. The microscopic roots of the orange coloured lichen further contribute to this weathering. This is an Australian geographical oddity, attracting visitors from all over the world.

The Remarkable Rocks are one of the best known icons of Kangaroo Island in Australia. Perched 200 feet above the crashing sea, in the Flinders Chase National Park, over on the western side of Kangaroo Island, the 'Remarkable Rocks' are a collection of enormous eroded granite boulders sitting atop a giant dome of lava, that has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years. The golden orange lichen covering some of the rocks and the many different shapes offers tourists plenty photo opportunities at different times of the day.

The Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, Australia are one of nature's wonders. The strange and unusually shaped rocks are formed of granite laid down about 500 million years ago when Australia was still part of the Godwana supercontinent which included South America, Africa and India. Once on the surface they have been sculpted by wind, rain and sea into the unusual shapes seen today. Many of the rocks are covered in golden orange lichen offering plenty of opportunity for striking photographs as the sunlight strikes the angles. Visitors from across the world have been in awe of the Remarkable Rocks and you will be as well.

Located in the Flinders Chase National Park, Remarkable Rocks from a distance look like just a bunch of rocks somehow dumped in the middle of nowhere. However as you drive closer you realise they are a beautiful cluster of granite boulders, in parts orange/red in colour, due to lichen, a fungal organism, attached to the rocks. The rocks are an amazing place for some epic photo opportunities, but be careful of the strong winds which have been known to blow people right off the cliff side!

Kangaroo Island is Australia's third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island. It lies in the state of South Australia 112 km (70 mi) south-west of Adelaide. Its closest point to the mainland is Snapper Point in Backstair Passage which is 13.5 km (8.4 mi) from the Fleurieu Peninsula. Kangaroo Island is Australia's fourth major tourism icon, attracting over 140,000 visitors each year, with international visitors, primarily from Europe, accounting for more than 25% of these visits. It's a short flight from Adelaide or a ferry ride from Cape Jervis.

There's so much to do on this island. Some of the most popular tourist spots are: Seal Bay with ranger guided walks among basking Australian sea lions; Flinders Chase National Park which includes Remarkable Rocks, Admiral's Arch, lighthouses at Cape Borda and Cape du Couedic, and multiple walking trails and camping areas; Cape Willoughby; Kelly Hill Caves; Little Sahara, huge sand dunes on the south coast etc.

The Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island have been shaped by erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years. Perched high atop a large round boulder, jutting out into the sea lies a strange collection of rocks. Windswept, huge and strangely shaped, they have an eerie presence.

Among the highlights is Seal Bay in the Conservation Park of the same name where visitors - accompanied by a guide - can walk among the third largest, and most accessible, colony of Australian Sea Lions. New interaction tourism activities at Seal Bay are currently being devised where visitors assist in the research and conservation of the Sea Lion colony. Further along the south coast is Admirals Arch, home to 7,000 New Zealand fur seals. In Penneshaw, fairy penguins wander around at night while dolphins are regularly sighted on the north coast from Constitution Hill at Snellings Beach.
