The Path Less Ridden

Day 7 – Kangaroo Island Part 1

The morning started on another boat – this time they strapped the bike down so I didn’t have to stay and hang on!

Then once we landed in Penneshaw it was straight back into exploring.

The roads were mostly straight, but there were some good sections.

And some good views from the nearby lookouts.

Then it was on to American River (actually an inlet, not a river), where I managed to see black swans.

Then it was on to Seal Bay on the south coast, to see the Sea Lions – there’s a great self-guided boardwalk tour that gets in nice and close.

I kept following the southern coast westward, next stop Vivonne Bay.

Some wildlife at the Visitors Centre.

After arranging my campsite for the night (with shower, what luxury!), I pushed south to Cap Du Coeudic – firstly the lighthouse, then Admirals Arch and the fur seal colony there.

Back at the campsite I went for a wander around dusk to try and catch some wildlife – particularly a platypus, if I could.

Sadly no sighting, although those are definitely burrows on the bank.

Sunset and and an early night.
