Here is a long view of The Remarkables - they don't look like much here, do they?
Looking inland...
There are many beautiful species of orchids growing on KI.
Still not all that Remarkable...
My dear friend, Kim, getting closer.... Thank goodness for me and my poor old toe, that the way to The Remarkables was fully along this boardwalk.
My dear friend, Gino, getting very close now....
TraderVic, looking like he could slip through the rock to another dimension, echoes of "Picnic at Hanging Rock".
If you look way down you can see the remains of the jetty from the 19th century, when this lighthouse was manned. Everything had to be winched up from the jetty below, supplies and people! It must have been very isolating for the lighthouse keepers and their families.
But, oh how the view was worth it (sorry about the thumb on the left side - lol!)
This the ruins of the original lighthouse keeper's homes. Each doorway led to the single room occupied by each family - they must have been cramped.
Cape Borda Lighthouse....
The view towards "The Two Brothers" (little islets), Admirals Arch is below the cliff.
Can you spot the seal?
Long view of The Remarkables ...
More seals ....
A rare photo of TraderVic and I, he hardly ever lets me take a photo of him (Shhh! Don't tell him I posted it on my blog!)
Our friends, Kim and Gino ...
On our way back to The Lookout (via Kingscote for dinner), we stopped at King Island Spirits (KIS) for a Gin tasting.
The tasting included both a variety of gins and liqueurs. Naturally, we bought some.....
... andthen we finished our tasting with an affogato - yum!
I saw this cute terrier at the distillery, he had the cutest black and white face but unfortunately turned away before I could get a pic.
Then it was onto dinner at the Auroro Ozone Hotel in Kingscote. Where we had more yummy food - my seafood risotto was just amazing!
... and another glorious view....
Our holiday is just about coming to a close, just one more post should finish off my travels, I think, so please do come back to visit with me again.
If you want to backtrack to my earlier posts about Kangaroo Island, you can find them here....
hugs,

The Remarkables were truly remarkable!!!! Along with all the other beautiful sights! I have really enjoyed this trip!
Wow Kaye. These are gorgeous pictures.
That is outstanding! The natural rock formations...wow!
Those rocks really do live up to their name! Quite remarkable. Are they just formed by wind and erosion?
Looks like a gorgeous trip, Kaye!! Those rock formations are incredible :) I was just in California and saw huge groups of blubbery seals--they were so funny!
There seems to be gorgeous views everywhere on that island and I am enjoying them all. You put a lot into that day, thank you so much for taking us along.

Wow, your pictures show very well, where the Remarkables got their name from. And yes, another dimension doesn't seem to be far away, lol.
