Remarkable Rocks, Kangaroo Island, South Australia 
If you make it to the Adelaide area in South Australia, you should take at least a day and go south to Kangaroo Island.  You can get there by car/boat combination, or you can take a flight down on a small airline, such as Emu Airways (I kid you not), which I took, and then rent a car in Kingscote.

You really can see some nice things in one day.  I started off at Seal Bay, where you can take a walking tour amongst the seals (a guided tour only is allowed).  From there, I drove the southern road, which quickly turned to dirt (and was a very beautiful drive), seeing Vivonne Bay (see the main Australia Gallery under South Australia), and on to Flinders Chase National Park.  Here I saw many New Zealand fur seals sunning them selves, and here is where the fantastic Remarkable Rocks are located.  I also saw wallabies and koala in this area as well.

This amazing spot on the island is at the southwest tip- it's called Remarkable Rocks.  This rocks are maybe three times the height of a human, and there are many of them as seen in the next series of pictures.  They sit on a 75m-high dome of rock on the seaside and were sculpted by mostly wind and rain.

South Australia.  This map shows the South Australia area around Adelaide.  Kangaroo Island is in the shaded area to the southwest, and is detailed on the right.  The red dots were placed by me on the map to mark out landmarks that I wanted to see.
Kangaroo Island.  The photograph above was taken where the orange arrow is pointing.  All photos in the pop-up gallery were taken on or near the road that runs on the southern side of the island.
