• Kangaroo Island

    30 декабря 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Traveling to Kangaroo Island from Cape Jervis which is a small town and if not for the ferry service would probably not exist.
    Kangaroo Island is quite a big island approx 160 kms long and produces lots of local product including wine, olives, meat, cheese, olive oil etc.
    It is also home to a myriad of other small businesses including emu oil, art galleries, honey manufacturing and many types of farming.

  • Granite Island

    29 декабря 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    As the name implies the island about 450 meters from the Victor Harbour beach is comprised mostly of granite and is also covered with lichen. The lichen secretes an acid which over thousands of years reduce the granite boulders to soil.
    Since my last visit the island has also become a sculpture park with a range of sculptures scattered around the 45 minute walk.
    There are a few species of wildlife that inhabit the island namely: small penguins, possums, herons, pacific gulls, seals and magpies.
    Probably the most impressive aspect of the island was the breakwater that was built in the 1890’s only by horse and man power which is very impressive when you see the size of it.

  • En route to McLaren Vale

    Next stop was a few other towns along the way with some cool artwork at the township of Coonalpyn. The township commissioned the artwork to get people to stop in the town and the figures painted on the silo came from 5 students that the artist observed and decided to then paint onto the silo...cool effect and yes people do stop ;).
    Also stopped at Bordertown for some baked goods from the town bakery and really enjoyed my choice...meat and vegetable pasty.

  • En Route to McLaren Vale

    28 декабря 2018 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    Well this was the first part of the trip in the newly minted “Silver Bullet” fresh wheels and bumper repair. Still such a great little car to drive especially when you need some speed to overtake...140kmh quite effortless.
    A hot day on the road however still a very pleasant drive. Hottest recorded temperature was at a salt lake @ 39 degrees celsius just outside of Dimboola.
