Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail - Rocky River - with new start point - Day 1

Flinders Chase National Park

The first day’s hike starts from the the new Flinders Chase Visitor Centre, walking 6km before intersecting with the Platypus Waterholes Walk over Black Swamp, with its ancient history of megafauna, and around the Platypus Waterholes. If you’re there early in the morning sit and wait to catch a glimpse of the shy platypus at one of the eight viewing platforms. Turning west, the trail follows the Rocky River Hike along Rocky River. Pause for a moment at the rapids and rockpools along the way, and keep an eye out for wildlife coming into the water to drink.
