Kangaroo Island

Boxing Kangaroos.

Kangaroo Island is an island located south west of Adelaide and you can locate it clearly from the map in my last post. Tourism has becoming an important growth in generating income and the largest town is Kingscote. The island has several nature reserves park to protect what is left of its native flora and fauna. The largest being Flinders Chase National Park.

We took an hour ferry ride from Cape Jervis to Kangaroo Island. 
On the Phillanderer III to Kangaroo Island.

Upon arrival, we stopped at Penneshaw for Afternoon Tea. We had scones and tea.

At Seal Bay. Soon after this photo was taken I received a stern warning from the park ranger not to be too close to the seals. They may look adorable and playful but when they play they can tear each other apart.

Aunty Aishah and her youngest sister, Aunty Azizah at Seal Bay.

Kelly Hills Conservation Park is located 90kms south west of Kingscote- Right outside the entrance of the limestone caves. Waiting for our guided tour.

Inside the cave and you can see amazing formations of the stalactite, stalagmite and columns.

 Remarkable Rocks at Flinders Chase National Park. Hard to believe that the rocks was created by Mother Nature.
Aunty Azizah and me one of the rocks. Very intriguing.

It was windy and cold. This stunning work of nature has been shaped by the forces of wind, waves and rain over million years.

That's Uncle Bill with both hands up. This is Admirals Arch which is an open cave located not far from the Remarkable Rocks. Known for its breathtaking views as well as home to the colony of New Zealand fur seals. 

We stayed at Kingscote Caravan Park. Nenek, Aunty Azizah and me shared the camper on the right, while Aunty Aishah and her family stayed in the one on the left.
