Another wonderful day begins as we head down to the Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil Distillery, where incredibly, the distilling process operates exactly as it did in the 1890s.

After our tour and cuppa, we continue down to the magnificent Flinders Chase National Park, which is recovering naturally following the January 2020 bushfires, which burnt 96 per cent of the park. The park is home to the Cape du Couedic Lighthouse and keeper’s residences, New Zealand Fur Seals, Admirals Arc and Weirs Cove, plus the spectacular Remarkable Rocks.

Inside the new state-of-the-art Flinders Chase National Park Visitors Centre, built with a $19.5 million investment after the devastating 2019 – 20 bushfires, we enjoy lunch from The Rocks Cafe and view the stunning interpretation gallery that connects visitors with the park through the fusion of science and art.

We then leave Flinders Chase and make our way up to the Emu Bay Lavender Farm for a little shopping, to learn about lavender production and taste some homemade goodies before returning to our accommodation with time to freshen up before dinner.
