KI- Day 2

Today we drove along the southwestern coast of the island to Flinders Chase National Park.

Locals made their own mailboxes and placed them at the end of the long rural road to make it easier for  the "posty" when he makes his one time weekly delivery.  


This iconic granite KI landscape feature is known as Remarkable Rocks-
the boys wanted to climb every one!





You must look closely at this photo...
there are more than 20 New Zealand Fur Seals on the rocks...


Two little pups- so cute!
Another amazing rock formation- Admiral's Arch

It is difficult to tell but there are both NZ fur seals and the AU sea lion resting on this rocky slab


Cape du Coudic Lighthouse on the most south westerly point of the island-
built by hand in the early 1900's


A visit to the local bee farm-
complete with honey tasting...

and homemade honey icecream!

Every day at 5pm these pelicans get a tasty snack from the locals-
it is a loud affair.
