    Host, Mark, will accompany you on a walk in Penneshaw investigating Australia bush foods and bush medicines and he will begin discussing the culturally enriched stories of sites of deep significance. The stories will be from the beginning of the Kalowinyeri (creation) unfolding the layers of history, tales, and traditions of the local tribes to the current custodians of Kangaroo Island.

    Flinders Chase National Park

    From here, travel to the western most part of the Island, Flinders Chase National Park. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, reptiles, and koalas. See the rugged coastline from walks around Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. You will hear how Nurrunderi left this world and entered the Kalowinyeri to give the indigenous people life. Remarkable Rocks provide great photographic opportunities, and the Admirals Arch boardwalk takes you down a rugged cliff face to reveal the spectacular rock archway, a natural nursery and haven for playful Long-nosed Fur Seals.
