The Open House Parndana

... to think back when you flicked through a glossy mag, and saw a page and dreamed that that would be the perfect place for a G&T!

It got very hot by then. On the mainland it was forecast 38deg. If the weather continues to Friday, it will be the first heatwave Oz has ever had in November! We decided to move back to Kingscote for lunch, as we were told told that there was a place that had icy cold aircon. We got the there to be told the kitchen ...

... vorstellen: Habe dort auf der Insel zwei Kaliber gesehen, da bleibt dir die Spucke weg. Das waren ja fast schon Pferde und keine Kaenguruhs mehr... denen moechte ich im Finstern nicht begegnen. Bei diesen beiden konnte ich es mir dann sehr wohl gut vorstellen, dass die diese Distanz springen koennen (10 Meter oder mehr).
Die Robben waren natuerlich auch voll goldig! Unvorstellbar: Die schwimmen 3 Tage nonstop im Meer herum, ohne Pause, ohne ...

My brother says there are few things as disgusting as the extent to which people all over the world rush to do really nice things for me. (Many of you reading this blog, for example!) So I hope he isn’t reading this…

I had booked a sea based tour for Tuesday the 29th through KI Marine Tours - supposed to see dolphins, whales and some areas of the island inaccessible from land. However, as it got closer to Tuesday, the weather ...

Hi all,

For those who dont have access to Facebook I have put some pics up of our new puppy. Her name is Dot and she is a border collie x labrador (we think). She is very lovely, and is at the moment happily causing havoc about the place.

It was slightly random how we got her. We got given her whilst we were at a local footy match with some friends. It wasn't your average way to get a new dog! The woman, who's dog was the mother of the ...

... more like a local at an alarmingly quick rate!

I have included a video of the sheep. I had to make it low quality so I could upload it, hopefully you can all still see it ok...

I will put these on Facebook too, but for those without Facebook...enjoy!

Love

Je ss and Danny

... Flinders Chase Nationalpark gefahren und haben die Remarkable Rocks und den Admirals Arch besichtigt, absolut überwältigende Gesteinsformationen direkt am Meer - hier hätten wir auch den ganzen Tag verbringen können, aber wir wollten noch zum Nordende des Parks, der in unseren Reiseführern so schön beschrieben war. Das ging über 30km unbefestigte Strasse, die sehr gut begann, aber immer hoppeliger wurde, was unser Auto zwischenzeitlich zu einer Balance-Fehlermeldung ...

... Now before we see them we smell them. The locals will say that is because they are from New Zealand, I think it is because they do not have flushing toilets. These seals are much smaller than the Aussie Sealions, playing in the foaming surf and energetically leaping out onto the rocks to sunbathe. They do stink though! We then find one of the nicest beaches yet at Hanson Bay. The sheltered bay is home to white sand and only a few other people. Only the horseflies force us away ...

... the Milky Way very clearly. He also pointed out a number of constellations including the Southern Cross which is only visible in the Southern Hemisphere. When we were done, he gave me a ride back to the KI Wilderness Retreat. I went to bed, pleased that I had found something to keep me busy at the Wilderness Retreat. I am not sure what I will do until 2:30 pm tomorrow, as I have to check out of her no later than 10:00 am! I guess I will figure it out in the morning.

... the honey is collected and how they maintain the bees.  We saw a glass beehive so you could see what all the bees were doing and even the queen.  After such a long and tiring weekend we sadly said good bye to KI, the ferry ride back was at sunset and we reminisced about our great weekend!I know this was a kind of long for a whole weekend but we had such a good time, you will all love the pictures!!  Can't wait to tell/show you guys more!!  Cheers!Love, Erica & Nick

... Tag war. Insegesamt waren wir diesmal nur 10 Personen aus diversen Nationen. Anschliessend haben wir noch eine Eukalyptusplantage besucht. Mittagspause gab es dann in der Pampa. Sandwiches wurden diesmal dort serviert. Nach der Mittagspause ging es dann zum ersten super schoenen Strand naemlich zum Lions Bay, wo einige Seeloewen mit einem Guide zur Sicherheit zu bestaunen waren. Dann gings ab zum Sandboarden in die little ...
