Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is a beautiful unspoilt island just south of Adelaide. It's Australia's second largest island after Tasmania. It is so named because when it was 'discovered' black things could be seen moving on its shore which turned out to be kangaroos - that were promptly eaten. Fortunately, many of the kangaroos survive to this day, the largest of which are eight feet tall.

We all stayed in a lovely little house and spent all day everyday exploring the island. Every night I cooked a barbecue - I'm definitely getting my fix of barbecues after the drought of winter (plus they are banned where I live in Oxford so there's no having them in the Summer either).

I saw a massive range of wildlife: a few kangaroos (of varying sizes), koalas, echidnas, seals, sea lions, penguins.....

Tomorrow we're off to New Zealand, back on Saturday.

OK, got to go, sorry for the incomplete (and probably typo ridden) post.

PS I hope to insert a bunch of pics, in this post at a later date.
