I awoke to the lovely sound of the lapping waves. After breakfast I went for a walk down the beach scanning the pebbles for any interesting ones. I found a really beautiful pebble and a great colourful shell for Jay. I was also trying to find one of those really lucky pebbles with a hole in it but I didn't spot any. I wasn't travelling far today, only about 15 kilometres to Cape Jervis. That is where I am getting the ferry to Kangaroo Island in a couple of days. I drove down to the ferry terminal to see what was going on and saw one of the ferries loading up and leaving. I then went to the camp site, just a few k's out of town. This camp is on a farm station and was really ace. It was amongst trees up on a hill with a great view of the straw coloured landscape falling down into the ocean. The facilities were really good and the shower was awesome. There were three very docile and friendly dogs wandering about the place. There was a sign outside the showers which informed that the chocolate Labrador, Reo, was very hungry and that he would help himself to any food left lying around! Whilst I was having my lunch one of the dogs, but not Reo, came to join me. He was very cute and looked longingly at my food but didn't try to nab any of it. There were also ducks wandering about here and loads of Galahs and Kookaburras making an extreme racket in the trees all around the camp. I read and listened to music and had an early night. I'm catching the ferry to Kangaroo Island tomorrow and feel like I'm going on holiday. I'm doing two weeks voluntary work on the animal sanctuary at Hanson Bay and I suppose this is like a holiday within a holiday. I am so lucky and am grateful for every second that I spend in this wonderful country.
