Admirals Arch

Admirals Arch is a striking natural rock arch covered in stalactites that has been slowly shaped over thousands of years by the waves at Cape du Couedic. Take a scenic walk through the lush park heading towards the jagged coastline. Follow the boardwalk around the cliff face, leading to the Admirals Arch lookout. Here you can look down below the natural bridge, watching waves crashing against the sandstone. The lookout also provides a fantastic vantage point to view the New Zealand Fur Seal colony below. Each year the colony returns to the shores of Cape du Couedic to rest and breed. Keep an eye out for young pups playing in the nearby rock pools. The seals head out to sea each day to feed, but you will often see them relaxing on the warm rocks below the arch. (Flinders Chase National Park, South Australia, Australia)
