Our latest travel adventure took us to the remote island of the coast of South Australia, Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is a very isolated part of South Australia. It was fairly pricey to get to, as they only have a private ferry operating to get there (you could fly if you wanted to from Adelaide). The island is one of the nicest parts of South Australia we have seen. Great quite beaches, wonderful wildlife, neat natural features, and great scenery. The island is about 50 miles wide, by 150 miles long.
Australian Sea Lions up close on the beach at Seal Bay. The are quite docile animals and laze around on the beach.
We took a great scneic drive down to the cape of Hanson Bay.
A sea pelican wandering near the beach at Pennshaw point.
The Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase Park. They are aptly named and are a bizarre formation of wind and water weathered and shaped rocks high on a sea side cliff. The rocks are covered in a orange color from a certain type of lichen moss. They were fascinating and we spent a good part of the afternoon climbing and walking around the large area of rocks.
The north part of the island has great sea side roads with magnificent views out into the ocean. We went down to several nice beaches and bays.
We hiked down to a underground cave that looked out into the ocean at the western tip of the island in the Flinders Chase area.
We saw a lot of wildlife, and had to stop many times for them as they crossed the road. Here is an echidna hiding in the bush.
Kim took a great photo of the scrub brush trees.
