What is Flinders Chase National Park?
'''Flinders Chase National Park''' is a national park in [[South Australia]] in [[Kangaroo Island]] south of [[Adelaide]]. The park has a size of 326&nbsp;km² and is distributed over the three areas; Cape du Couedic and Rocky River, Gosse Lands and the Cape Borda Lighthouse in the west of the island. The park was founded in 1919. The closest town is Kingscote, about 110&nbsp;km away. The main attractions of the park are the bizarre rocks of the ''Remarkable Rocks'', the colonies of [[Eared seal|fur seals]] at ''Admirals Arch'', and the lighthouse at Cape Borda from 1858. There are also numerous kangaroos and koalas in the park. == Wildlife == [[New Zealand fur seal]]s, [[Brown fur seal|Australian fur seals]] and Australian sea lions can be found along the coast of the park.
