We have just spent a delightful week
holidaying on Kangaroo Island. We were there with a purpose - our second son was representing his school in the 2012 South Australian Schools Sailing Championship.
Despite being fairly busy supporting - and continually feeding - our team of young sailors, we still found time to do some sightseeing. We visited a honey farm, a eucalyptus farm and a sheep dairy. We watched the fairy penguins, dodged the wild kangaroos on the road, did a spot of fishing (without a catch, unfortunately) and some of us even swam in the ocean (very, very cold!) Less pleasantly, we discovered that petrol sells for $1.90 per litre at Vivonne Bay - ye-ouch!
Here are some of the many glorious sights of Kangaroo Island.
Sea lions at Seal Bay: the dark ones are male and the lighter grey ones are the girls

Kangaroo Island is truly a great place to spend some time. There is so much to see and do. Kelly Hill Caves, Remarkable Rocks and Flinders Chase national park to name just a few. I hope you will spread the word so others can enjoy all Kangaroo Island has to offer.
Gorgeous photos - we must visit there one day.
I happened upon your lovely blog whilst searching for Apple Cake recipes! Your photos are beautiful and I am enjoying reading back through previous posts. Lots of good recipes to try. I'll be baking the Apple Cake later today...thanks for sharing!

Oh how incredible!!! Amazing, amazing photos, and I promise you I would have a heart attack if I saw a sea lion just sprawled out on the beach like this. Just awesome! So glad I found your blog! It's great to meet you, and I can't wait to read more posts. Have a great weekend!
What a wonderful post. I loved seeing the seals and the colorful sailboats are gorgeous!
Kimmie,
I use a very basic little Panasonic Lumix camera. It's having a few problems at the moment so it's really a miracle that these photos turned out!
