My Blog:
Last climb after a brilliant three weeks stay in South Australia. We saw this walk as we travelled to Kingscote the day we arrived and set aside time for the climb as we headed back to the ferry.
Short Description:
59 steps and 346 stairs takes you up this sand hill to the viewing platform with its 360° view of the eastern end of Kangaroo Island, particularly American River and Pelican Lagoon.
On 4th April 1802, Matthew Flinders climbed and named this hill as detailed on a number of information board.
Getting There:
Approximately half way between the ferry terminal at Penneshaw and Kingscote on Hog Bay Road, with a signposted car park at the base of the hill.
Maps:

From the car park, head to the base of the hill and the steps up, which then become a stair way to the viewing platform at the top.
Return by the same route.
