A visit to Kangaroo Island

“So what do you think? Is it a camel or an elephant?” Nikki teases me.  Standing atop a hilltop, right in front of me is a massive rock formation overlooking the sea. It seems like it has been sculpted by an artist who could not make up his mind while carving it. As the bright orange lichen covering the surface of the rocks glows in the rays of the sun, Nikki, my guide, tells me that these granite boulders were shaped by nature more than 500 million years ago.  These are the Remarkable Rocks of Kangaroo Island, Australia’s third largest island, located in South Australia.
