ROCKY GLEN RETREAT KING ISLAND
More information-
King Island is the guardian of the western entrance to Bass Strait, with picturesque beaches, clean air, offshore reefs, rocky coasts and shipwrecks. The tallest lighthouse in the southern hemisphere at Cape Wickham along with 4 other lighthouses, were built to guide sailors safely around King Island shores.

Cray fishermen, abalone divers, locals, also visitors, recreationally fish the rich waters around King Island, while "Kelpies" harvest bull kelp tossed onto the shore.

Beef, dairy cattle and sheep, shelter behind tree lanes on the flat and thriving farmlands. Lush grass is the secret of the succulent local beef, rich cream and award winning, hand made cheeses.

A short boat trip off shore, to Reid Rocks is a major breeding colony for the Australian fur seals. King Island's Wildlife is a mixture of native and exotic creatures and birds thriving along with the lovely flora & fauna.

King Islander's are friendly and a highlight is the "giday" wave, from every car that passes on the roads.
