Holidays (3)

Thursday morning I was picked up and dropped off at the airport by 5:30am.  Soon enough I was landing at the Adelaide airport and my cousin, Robert, and I were on our way to Kangaroo Island.

We spent Thursday - Saturday on the island having many adventures!  Some highlights were: A river hike down to the beach, running up and down the sand dunes, many coffees in small cafes, visit to the coastal attractions, caves, animals and lots of driving.  There's some pictures below!

 The view as we climbed down out of the canyon and onto the beach.  It was one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen.  There were many little waterfalls as the river ran over rocks.

 On our beach walk, we climbed out on to some rocks.  It was very choppy here and we experienced some 'freak waves'.  The ocean spray was really refreshing!

 Standing from the end of the river at the place where the river water meets the ocean.  You can see that it is brown water near the edge, and then changes to a magnificent blue.

Standing on the lookout with the coastline and two islands behind me.  There were many attractions along the coastline that we stopped to have a look at.  We also saw seals.

The Admirals Arch - there were some seals on the rocks barking at each other.

 We visited the Kelly Hill caves and had a guided tour.  There were some magnificent formations

 It was nice to be in the caves, but I was a little disappointed we couldn't explore them further.

 We explored some abandoned machinery in a paddock.

 We visited the Little Sahara which was unbelievable.  It was way bigger than I ever imagined.  There was so much sand just sitting in the middle of this island.  We climbed many many sand dunes and ran all over them.  This was one of my highlights!

This is lying on the edge of one of the dunes.

 We visited a wildlife sanctuary where we got to feed lots of different animals.  The kangaroos were classic.  I'm so ticklish that when they licked my hand, I almost dropped all the food.  There was a lot of laughing and hysterics.

 This was a classic animal.  It would come up to be patted, but wouldn't want to eat anything. 

 The most beautiful creature I've ever seen.

 We had our own private feeding of some greedy pelicans.  They were a lot of fun!

My favourite pelican photo - one pelican trying to get bread, the other one biting it in half!!!
