Platypus Waterholes Walk – Flinders Chase National Park

National Parks and Reserves

Flinders Chase Nation­al Park is a must for any Kan­ga­roo Island parks adven­ture. This vast area of wilder­ness fea­tures the icon­ic Remark­able Rocks, Admi­rals Arch and a long-nosed fur seal colony.

After being devastated by the January 3, 2020 firestorm, the 4.5-kilometer walking track along the Black Swamp and Rocky River has been rebuilt, allowing visitors to explore the habitat where the island’s platypus reside.

Access: This walk begins at Flinders Chase Visitor Centre.

Rates

Entry to this park is free until 6 April, 2026 as part of the State Government’s Algal Bloom Summer Plan, which aims to protect South Australia’s coast, back coastal communities and support our summer lifestyle.
