KI adventures begin, Bris-Adelaide

It's been over a year since I have done any travelling. My last trip to SA was to collect FiNN, my Border Collie pup, at Tickera on Yorke Peninsula. I would have loved to have brought him to Kangaroo Island to meet his brother, Ollie, but it was impractical. So he is staying in Brisbane. It was terrific to catch up with my former ABC Rural boss, Leigh Radford and his partner, Tracey. We headed to the Adelaide Hills, which are pregnant with Spring. We lunched at the old Uraidla pub and walked around Leigh's fabulous garden. I overnighted in Adelaide, where I caught up with my sister, Ro and her husband, Rod. We jumped on a bus to Cape Jervis in the morning and caught the Sealink ferry to Penneshaw. We picked up a car, brunched at Millie Mae cafe, walked the local sculpture, and stopped at the Soldiers Settlers Museum at Parndana. Then it was on to Flinders Chase NP island's western England, where we'll spend four nights. You feel a release of tension, and it's great to see the roos and Cape Barron geese grazing near the cabins in the caravan park. I even spotted a koala, which was just a delight.Læs mere
