Kangaroo Island lies 13 kilometres off the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide, separated from the mainland long enough to have preserved wildlife populations including sea lions, New Zealand fur seals, platypus, and echidna. Flinders Chase National Park on the island's western end protects the Remarkable Rocks — a cluster of granite boulders sculpted by wind and wave erosion into organic forms on a headland above the Southern Ocean. Admiral's Arch, a cave formation at Cape du Couedic, shelters a resident New Zealand fur seal colony.
