Flinders Chase National Park
|
|
At the western end of the island, Flinders Chase is one of South Australia's most significant national parks. 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. There's wild, often spectacular, scenery right around the coast, reached via roads and walking tracks. |

Penneshaw Penguin Centre
|
On the foreshore near the ferry terminal, Penneshaw Penguin Centre allows for close-up, unobtrusive views of the little penguins that nest along the shore as they ply the penguin highway. This is possibly the best place to see them in Australia. Book ahead and leave camera flashes behind. |
