It is a sanctuary for endangered species and home to a few geological phenomena. It was the second national park to be declared in South Australia.[3] Flinders Chase National Park consists of three sections - an area of coastal landscapes around Cape du Couedic in the south west corner of the island, the Gosse Lands in the centre of the west end of the island and the former Cape Borda Lightstation reserve in the north west corner of the island. DescriptionLocationFlinders Chase National Park is located at the north-western end of Kangaroo Island in South Australia approximately {{convert|110|km|abbr=off}} west of Kingscote.[6] It is located within the gazetted localities of Flinders Chase, Gosse and Karatta.[4][5][6] ExtentAs of 1993, the national park consists of three separate parcels of land:[7][8]
Protected area designationThe national park is classified as an IUCN category II protected area.[1] HistoryParts of the national park first acquired protected area status as a ‘flora and fauna reserve’ declared on 16 October 1919 under the Fauna and Flora Reserve Act 1919, an act whose specific purpose was:[2] …to establish a Reserve on Kangaroo Island for the Protection, Preservation, and Propagation of Australasian Fauna and Flora, and to provide for the Control of such Reserve, and for other purposes. It was constituted as a national park upon the proclamation of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 on 27 April 1972 which repealed five items of existing legislation including the Fauna and Flora Reserve Act 1919.[9] At proclamation in 1972, it consisted of the following land in the following cadastral units as well as the entirety of the Casuarina Islets - section 11 in the Hundred of Borda, section 64 in the Hundred of Gosse, section 17 in the Hundred of McDonald and section 66 in “South out of Hundreds”.[10] On 15 October 1993, land in section 11 of the Hundred of Borda, section 64 of Hundred of Gosse and Allotments 50 and 52 in DP 38340 and with an area of {{convert|416.63|km2}} was removed from the national park and consitututed under the Wilderness Protection Act 1992 as the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area.[1][11] SanctuarySince creation in November 1919, it has become a sanctuary for endangered species, some of them introduced from the mainland in the 1920s and 1930s. During the 1940s, 23 additional species were introduced, including Koalas (1923) and Platypus (1928). Most of these species can still be observed today. Kangaroos, Goannas and Echidnas are commonly seen in the national park.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} Little penguinsLittle penguins have been recorded in Flinders Chase in the 1920s,[12] 1930s,[13][14] 1940s[15] and 1950s.[16] It is believed that these colonies have since gone extinct, partly due to the increase of long-nosed fur seal populations since the end of commercial sealing. In 1886, little penguins were seen at Admiral's Arch.[17]==Geological monuments== The national park contains two geological features that have been listed as geological monuments by the Geological Society of Australia - Cape du Couedic and Remarkable Rocks.[18] Remarkable Rocks are naturally sculptured formations precariously balanced atop a granite outcrop. They remind visitors of the sculptures of Henry Moore.[19]FireLightning strikes on Thursday 6 December 2007 caused 63,433 hectares of Flinders Chase National Park to be burnt, before finally being contained on 16 December.[20] GallerySee also
