    Seal Bay

    30 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Most of the seals on Kangaroo Island were almost hunted to extinction in the late 1800’s and since being protected as a species (both NZ fur seals and Australian sea lions) they have made a steady recovery.
    This Bay is an ideal nursery for the seals as the bay has a reef that protects it from large predators such as great white sharks and is also ideal for sunning and teaching the seal pups how to swim and hunt.
    The sea lions are such named due to their coloring and amber colouring that mimics a mane.
    Great reconstruction of a juvenile humpback whale skeleton which I have captured in a photo.
    The conservation centre is well managed and the ramps provide good access to the viewing of the seals. In earlier times it appears that visitors were able to walk up to the seals to closely observe them but that has changed with improved knowledge of these mammals.    Leer más

    Kangaroo Island

    30 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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.    Leer más

    Granite Island

    29 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ 🌧 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.    Leer más

    Victor Harbour

    29 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    A relatively short trip from McLaren Vale to Victor Harbour. The place has changed somewhat since I last visited about 30 years ago. Case in point there is an underwater tuna viewing opportunity about 200 meters off the beach which alllows people to swim with the tuna in a large pen.Leer más

    En route to McLaren Vale

    28 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    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.    Leer más

    En Route to McLaren Vale

    28 de diciembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 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.    Leer más

    Airey's Inlet Coast Walk

    6 de noviembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

    As I have been down this part of the coast so much it was amazing to discover a small little nook that I had never experienced before.
    Some beautiful homes nestled into the coast line with some equally amazing views and a quaint little coffee house for the locals which apparently was once horse stables.Leer más

    Neridas Paddock

    4 de noviembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Probably the most enjoyable place of all...really nice wine and great food with a beautiful environment.
    Probably the most amazing roof of an umbrella that I have ever seen...completely populated with different forms of lichens all transferred from the vines above the patio we sat at.Leer más

    Intercontinental Collins Street Day 1

    18 de octubre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary here and so Jen thought it appropriate to come back for my 60th.
    Had a lovely brunch with my Mum and Jen as well and then received my birthday gift which was diving with Great White sharks...how cool.
    Caught up with the kids and met Declan’s dad Vince and Adele for the first time. Then went to Donovan’s for dinner after. Great day 😃🙏    Leer más

    Hamilton Island

    18 de septiembre de 2018, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    The Hamilton Island chapel is a beautifully restored building that attracts lots of interest for weddings because of its beautiful location.
    Hamilton Island has quite a few amazing dwellings on it especially for international visitors or people who simply want to purchase their small piece of paradise.
    Great to walk around this area.    Leer más
