Kangaroo Island adventure… We were expecting to see all kinds of native wildlife and the dream came true. Our first animal to spot was a Kangaroo on the side of the road… the kangaroo is much like the deer. Dangerous road hazards! We drove all the way to Admirals Rock which was covered in seals, second animal to spot! We drove over then to Remarkable rocks…from a distance the formation of the rocks looks like a camel but when you get close enough to them, they are more so just granite rocks with really pretty curves and arches. You were allowed to clime on the rocks and so we did until brad jumped down and gave himself a good twistie! (Australian for sprain, at least that’s what we called it.) We later found out that a twistie was actually their form of cheetoh’s. After a really good picnic lunch we ventured to see Koala’s! And they are adorable, we were all so excited to finally see one up close and personal in the wild! That night we attempted to see penguins, but we were only allowed to use a red light which made it difficult to see them. We stayed over night in Kangaroo Island and headed out the next morning for more adventure seeking. We started at seal bay where the sea lions were lounging all over the beautiful white sand. They are pretty funny to watch, the males are very large and fight/play with the other males for fun. Most of the moms were nursing their young and just enjoying the sun’s rays!
Sandboarding came next on our adventure tour and it was a lot of fun. The fun however did not come without hard work. Picture a huge hill covered in sand and the only way to get to the top is to clime. By the time you get to top your legs are so tired that you have to take a break before you go down the hill. Margaret stayed down and video taped all of us cruising down the hill. When the footage is available I will post it.
Our tour ended back at the wildlife zoo where we could actually pet the Koalas and Kangaroos… I made a good friend with a kangaroo and he even gave me a hug and kiss before I left! HaHa. He really liked his belly scratched and apparently I was really good at it. From here we flew back to Adelaide and spent our final night there.
