💡 Good to know

Sea lions loll at Seal Bay year-round but summer's light lingers for Remarkable Rocks at sunset — and the island's honey, gin and marron are all in season.
Whales pass the south coast and the island turns green and moody — ferries still run, fires burn in the lodges, and the wildlife never checked out.
