14/04/12 - Kangaroo Island Part 2

It was so remarkable, we just had to go back again!
Another addition to the
wildlife viewing log!
Kelly Caves - minus the strained
expression due to the noisy kids...
 Sunrise attempt #3, and finally a success! Given the rocks were so remarkable, we headed there again for a second showing and enjoyed less people being around. After cramming everything back into the Beaut, we headed out to the Hanson Bay koala sanctuary where we spotted a few of our furry friends. Next stop was the Kelly Caves, where we were guided by a local beauty, and annoyed by a couple of hyperactive kids. A geek in our midst stole Tony’s thunder by asking about whether Thylacine remains had been found in the caves. He had also had a trip to Tassie recently - git.





Vivonne Bay - the proper bit

Following a spot of beach time at the proper Vivonne Bay, it was time to brave some more corrugations on our way to bush camping at D’Estress Bay. After getting hassle from some more kids in respect of our camping intentions, we set up as far away from them as possible, then enjoyed a secluded beach dinner with Wallabies watching on (the night before was possums, so an improvement!).

 Key learnings
1.       Don’t feed children sugar before taking them on a public tour/outing. Just don’t.
