Back in Adelaide

Back in Adelaide after a week on Kangaroo Island with Di an Jamie . We had a great time with them. Reece and Jamie talked non stop about tractors and farming!! Saw every inch of the island and visited most of the tourist spots which included the eucalyptus farm, King Island Distillery and bought some expensive gin. It is quite remote and of course everything comes over on the ferry. The main town is Kingscote and there are three other settlements Americam River, Penneshaw and Pardana. Three primary schools and one High School with 4,400 population. Sheep farming and some cropping. Most of the island is very hilly. Coastline very rugged in parts and some very nice sandy beaches. Much too cold for a swim tho. Seals lie around an the rocks. Visited Admiral Rock which is a breeding area. Spent ages just watching them. They are so graceful in the water but look like they should sink. Our accommodation was excellent. A two bedroom house overlooking the bay at Kingscote with everything we needed. Plenty of squid being caught on the town jetty next to the seals on the rocks there. Apparently penguin numbers have dropped because the seals have them for dinner.... The ferry from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw takes 50 minutes $49 each way and would have cost $800 for the caravan and car. It isn't very far but very expensive.. Got back to Adelaide about 2.30 after two hour drive up Fleurieu peninsula from the ferry. Couldn't find the other sheets as I needed to change them as Ray had been in my bed while I was in Perth.... I had hung them out the day I left for Perth and luckily two weeks later they were still on the line!,,!!
So today we will head off towards Port Pirie and make our way to Port Lincoln where we will meet Bill on Monday night. Just having a cuppa in bed.. It is pretty cool Nice!
Bill... Better bring your winter pyjamas...it is pretty damn cold at night and the swag doesn't have heating!!!
Love Penelope
