Armed with rain, sea waves and wind, nature has been working for 500 million years to create Wonderful Rocks. Like amazing sculptures, made in the style of abstractionism, the rocks rise in the park, 60 meters above sea level. They are a group of giant boulders located at the very top of the hardened lava.
Granite stones of various, bizarre shapes are very photogenic. Decorations in the form of traces of erosion and orange-golden lichen that have taken root on the stone give the rocks a unique picturesque look. Tourists visiting the park are always eager to take a few photographs as a keepsake of this natural wonder.

Rising to a specially equipped observation deck, tourists will be able to see the Admiral's stone Arch in all its glory. The impression of what you see will enhance the beautiful landscape - the tide of the ocean and fur seals playing in the water. During sunset, this place takes on a special beauty. The rays of the evening sun, like an artist, paint the arch in yellow and bright red colors.
Since 1919, this part of the island has been declared a national park, taken under state care.
A year later, rare species of animals that are on the verge of extinction began to be brought to Flindres Chase. In the 40s, the island sheltered more than 20 species of animals on its territory. Among them were: platypuses, monitor lizards, echidnas and koalas. For several decades, the population of koalas has increased significantly. Today, these cute animals are in trouble again. As a result of active felling of eucalyptus trees, koalas are left without their food source.
