What's to love on Flinders Island?

Well, perhaps first of all it's the relaxed feel to the place, this is an island with it's own rythm that's not rushed and not wifi based. Secondly, you're surrounded by natural beauty. The granite custodians of the island provide spectacular backdrops to lush countryside dotted with cows and bush landscapes brimming with wildlife. These in turned are rimmed by secluded bays and long, white beaches with only the birds and the sparkling waters for company. And then there's the people. Friendly and ever helpful with advice on the local attractions - where and when to fish, where to see the sun set and quite likely with an invitation to join them for a get together, if you feel like socialising!

If any of the following appeal to you, then enter below because you'll love this place! Walking along a beach (there's about 105 to choose from!) with just you and yours for company, breathing the fresh air, watching the birds and perhaps getting your feet wet. Throwing a line in a river, from the beach or doing a spot of jetty fishing. Just sitting on rock in a little bay with the paper, a book or just the back of your eyes to keep you occupied. Enjoying a beverage in a real local pub, chatting with the locals and having a laugh. Walking - beaches, bush, coastal or even up Mt Strzelecki! Learning of the indigenous history at Wybalenna. Photography, an absolute abundance of subject material! And there's plenty more ideas in the Wild Discovery Guide to Flinders Island. Getting around : Cars are essential so you'll be greeted at the airport by the one of the smiling Flinders Island Car Rentals team who will hand over the keys and no doubt some valuable local advice, like how to do that special wave! Your Flinders Island home: Elvstan Cottages is on the edge of the Whitemark township so close to shops for all your supplies - the local butcher, the Interstate Hotel, the gallery, Bowls Club etc. The Cottages each sleep five people so friends or family can share your island experience.
