Flinders Chase National Park

Introducing Flinders Chase National Park

When you visit Kangaroo Island, don’t miss this park. Occupying the western end of the island, Flinders Chase is a gem and the highlight of any visit to the island. There’s myriad opportunities for both wet and dry wildlife viewing, and the wild coastal scenery is spectacular. Much of the park is mallee scrub, but there are some beautiful, tall sugar-gum forests, particularly around Rocky River and the Ravine des Casoars, 5km south of Cape Borda.

The Flinders Chase visitor centre (08-8559 7235; Rocky River; 9am-5pm) supplies useful information and park maps and has excellent displays on the changing landscape of the island.
