Today we had a tour of kangaroo island. At the end of the tour we paid for cuddling Koalas. I cuddled a koala that weighed at least 10 kg. It had a baby koala on his back.

Just boarded the ferry to Kangaroo Island. Frighteningly early start from Adelaide but thankfully the sea doesn't look too choppy.

Today we went to the park to play a game. The aim of the game was for the tagger to tag the person on the climbing frame but they couldn't touch the climbing frame. The playground was pretty goodRead more

Farewell to Kangaroo Island - an amazing visit. Like mainland Australia only fewer people (no, really) and more animals.

One really noticeable thing about Australia is that everywhere - and I mean everywhere - has a public WC. You can almost rely on it. Country parking spots in the middle of nowhere - tick. RoadsideRead more

Apparently a bush fire pretty much destroys the forest around here every few years and then it bounces back. Given the state of the charred stumps it's a miracle anything survives the fire.
