A Special Place For Jimmy James

Berri, SA

Jimmy James (the second) was a famous Aboriginal tracker, who belonged to the Pitjantatjara people. Jimmy moved to the Riverland in the 1940's and took his name from his (equally famous father-in-law, tracker, Jimmy James). Just a short stroll from the Berri Visitor Centre, this living riverbank memorial honours Jimmy, who was able to 'read the bush like a newspaper'. He worked with South Australian police on many investigations, murders, robberies and disappearances, his most famous was with Daniel Moodoo, another talented tracker, in 1966 where they travelled from Berri to find a nine year old missing girl in the Adelaide Hills, which they did successfully. The monument is sculpted out of two large slabs of black granite which are finely polished and engraved with images of birds and animals- all part of Jimmy's spirit world.

Admirals Arch

Flinders Chase, SA

Admirals Arch is a natural rock arch created by amazing forces of nature. It's situated within Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island. You can access the boardwalk around the cliff face which leads to a viewing platform overlooking the arch. The arch is sculpted by weathering and erosion from the sea over thousands of years. To reach the arch there is a pur­pose-built board­walk, it’s steep with steps at the end that take you to see the arch itself. If you can’t make it down to the arch, the scenery along the way is still well worth a jour­ney along the board­walk. Fur-seals often play among the rocks. These dark brown seals feed at sea but return to land to rest and breed. In summer, each of the large males establishes a territory with a number of females. You can often see Fur-seal pups playing near the rock pools beneath the arch. There is an interpretive centre at the park with more information, maps and ideas for walking and viewing wildlife nearby. You can also stay nearby in the heritage lighthouse cottages at Cape de Couedic. These have been beautifully restored with modern facilities.
