It was an early start to the day as Bea and I prepared to leave the farm and head towards kangaroo island. We had a surprise visit from Judith at about 6am to say goodbye and then another one slightly more shocking from Sven lol. It was shocking because we were sat in the dark in the car about to start the car up and he crept up and started tapping on the windows lol.

We parked up in the Mount Lofty car park and walked up to the summit to see amazing views of Adelaide and the surrounding areas.

This Island is supposed to have small penguins on it just like Penguin Island near Rockingham b...

There are between 5 and 9 of us here at any given time working on the farm as woofers earning our visa days to stay in Australia for a second year.
