Lot 1 South Coast Road, Fliners Chase, Via Kingscote Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia, 5223, 61-8-8559-7275
Kangaroo Island is a very special place...a paradise for nature lovers. The Wilderness Retreat is excellent, and so is the cuisine. With our rental car, we were able to explore the southwest part of the island, but two days was not enough. I would love to stay here at least one week to fully explore it. Emilie did a fine job of driving on the left, even adjusting to the steering wheel on the right and all controls being reversed. After a while, she even stopped turning on the windshield wiper...
Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia australblogHappy Canada Day Everyone! Today we are in Kangaroo Island, south of Adelaide. We left Adelaide yesterday on a bus trip to Cape Jervis where we caught the Ferry over to the Island. Apparently the coastal waters between Adelaide and Kangaroo Island can be quite unpredictable and there were high gale winds last night which made the ferry crossing very bumpy. They actually cancelled the earlier ferry because the waters were so rough. I managed to make my way through by lying down and taking some...
Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia lastandiThe night of the nocturnal tour was quite amazing! We headed down the road from our hotel just a few kms to another sanctaury type of place for the walk. When we started, it was still daylight, but definitely didn't take long for darkness to set in. The sun seems to set quite quickly down under. We saw Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koalas and even some Possums in the "wild". I even got to feed a kangaroo named Amy and her Joey, A.J., which stands for Amy's Joey. It was very cool. We came back to the ...
Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia lastandi28. März: Wir mussten mal wieder früh los, weil unsere Fähre nach Kangaroo Island um 10:00 Uhr losging und wir noch ca. eine Stunde fahren mussten. Es war sonnig und arktisch kalt (7 Grad - gestern um diese Zeit waren es 27 Grad...!). Wir haben am Fährterminal noch das Ablegen der früheren Fähre besichtigt - es sah alles ziemlich eng aus, und Tanja hat sich erbarmt, das Gekurve auf die Fähre zu übernehmen. Da die Lastwagen vor ihr alle rückwärts auffuhren, dachte sie, dass wir das auch müsste...
Flinders Chase National Park, South Australia, Australia mugitaBarbara had breakfast ready for us at about 7:30. It was a full breakfast with cereal, toast, eggs, bacon, coffee, tea, fruit orange juice and condiments. I had a nice chat over coffee with the couple from Birmingham, England. They had a car, so they left right after breakfast. I sat on the veranda and watched the boats go by the coast until my bus came to pick me up at 9:30. We went down to the Sealink Ferry terminal and picked up a load of day travelers and we were off on our tour of Kangar...

... nicht stehenbleiben sollte und wir haben uns ueber eine Stunde abgerackert, dass wir das Auto wieder rauskriegen...mit Schaufel, Schieben, Holzscheite & Co.<br>Vierter Minuspunkt: Die Unterkunft. Ich war darauf eingestellt, dass es nur "basic" Unterkuenfte sein werden, weil die Natur von der Insel erhalten bleiben soll und nicht zu einen Massentourismusziel mit Hotelanlagen werden soll. Und das ist auch gut so. Aber es ist ein Unterschied ob eine ...
Kangoroo Island, South Australia, Australia verenao... bosses called down last week and also want to give me a job but the woman was such a stuck up pretentious c**t that I think I would have her f*cked off within her second visit. Also there are some courses that we both want to do in Melbourne so we may do them and then return to the blissful rural life. It really has been wonderful here as the work is easy and enjoyable and its as laid back as you can get. In the mornings we have to do a run around a part of the property ...
Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia claire_noel... at the air. They chased us 20 meters or so down the path, full of malicious intent. Tallulah can be excused for running in terror, because she is not much bigger than an Egyptian goose herself. Not wanting to look like a goose-fearing coward in front of my kids, however, I turned and stomped loudly back toward the pair, hoping they would retreat. As we headed for contact, the geese ...
Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia peterbaird... a watching brief. We sit down as the sun fades from the sky and are soon surrounded by them. They are only metres from us, watching us watching them. There are mothers with joeys in their pouches, young boxing each other and adult males that leap the fence in one bound. We sit until we are in complete darkness, and then a little bit of fear starts to creep in. They are a lot bigger than you imagine, and they are now all around us. And it is pitch black. And we don't have a ...
Vivonne Bay, Kangaroo Island, Australia thecolleys... last day was spent doing some driving, saw a little lighthouse (seriously only 12 feet tall!) We went to a wildlife preserve called Paul's place, it was basically a family run farm but tons of fun, we were there for almost 3 hours doing the tour. We fed all the animals; kangaroos, sheep goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks and turkeys, emus, a deer even a llama! We cuddled a koala, hung out with some beautiful and exotic looking birds, saw a sheep get sheared and ...
