Yesterday was an amazing experience - a visit to Kangaroo island, a small island the size of Singapore just off the coast of South Australia - and a very long journey from Adelaide!! First was a ferry ride over the Backstairs Passage - the stretch of the Pacific between the two islands, next sea lion watching on the beach, such an amazing experience, standing 6 ft away from these wild animals in the middle of their breeding season! Next was a visit to the 'Remarkable rocks,' a set of rocks formed from ignitious rocks with red lichen covering them, so they looked like a Star Wars set! Then, just over the road, was another rocky wonder - Admiral's Arch, another great place where Australian seals were breeding. Along the way was the opportunity to see those famous kangaroos and koalas (even though they were hiding up in the trees - note the 'lumps' in the tree pictures from this trip!) A great day, well worth the total 8 hours of travelling I think.......
