Once again we woke up to overcast skies. At least there was no rain in the forecast.

Our AirBNB check-out deadline was 10:00a. Our re-scheduled ferry was at 11:30a, with check-in NLT 11:00a. We were out of the house shortly after 8:00a … having had a quick breakfast first. Why? We had some sightseeing plans.

First up was the Kangaroo Island Sculpture Trail in Penneshaw … where we were greeted by a Tammar wallaby … native to South and Western Australia … and one of the smallest of the wallabies. Little did we know then that we’d be seeing plenty of them on our meandering walk.

The 1-mile long trail turned out to be more of a garden/park with paved and dirt paths meandering through the grounds … a bush walk of sorts. The sign described the gradients as short, steep hills with many steps. We found it to be a comfortable trail and negotiated it with no difficulties.

The park is an ongoing project, with sculptures being added as funding permits. In addition to the sculptures, there are haikus by a local poet — Bev Willson — hidden in nooks and crannies around the grounds. Fun.Leggi altro
