Kangaroo Island the 3rd

Published: 07.10.2018

The day begins with a sumptuous breakfast at my B&B Molly's Run. Highly recommended, a B&B with all-around catering and something similar to a family connection. The nightly excursion with a flashlight and the search for kangaroos, wallabies, and possums will remain unforgettable - thank you Paul!

I will be picked up at 9:15 - unfortunately, today we still have to pick up 2 new arrivals from the airport, who will then go on a tour with us. But I will be compensated shortly before the airport. A koala mom with her offspring sits up in a tree, quite sleepy but adorably cute...

...and up the tree...


After we have 'collected' our travel companions, we head west to the southwestern corner of the island. On the way, we spot a rare companion by the roadside, a echidna, and more koalas... The echidna, however, is not very enthusiastic about our curious looks and "hides" itself into a prickly ball... Other beautiful companions introduce themselves as 'models' in front of my camera - even if they don't introduce themselves by name ;-) But the blue plumage is simply stunning...

A very special blue...

Again on the 3rd day, the place for our lunch is very idyllic - we get a BBQ in the middle of the wilderness with excellent salads and steak...

Our companion - Guide and chef de cuisine in one :-)


After that, we go to the viewpoint in Flinders Chase, the lighthouse stands out beautifully against the blue sky...

I am smiling easily on this dream day

Then we continue to Admirals Arch - for me the absolute highlight of the day - the colors, the cliffs, the views, and the bizarre formations are unique.

Admirals Arch - what a coast

The cliffs are breathtaking...

And dream views...

...through the rocks...

Life is so beautiful...

The sea lions also think this place is great...

Then comes the next highlight - the Remarkable Rocks, eroded over thousands of years, they offer very special shapes, colors, sculptures, and views to the horizon.

Looks a bit like an elephant...


Quite big...


Great subjects...

And the colors...

A nap at noon is also something...

On the way back to the airport, I encounter a hopping kangaroo and very peculiar traffic signs...

Don't come too close to me...

I better move away...

Be aware of: kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, and wild geese... :-)

It's a pity that the Kangaroo Island adventure is already over - it's a very special place on earth - I will come back... Take care, see you soon :-)

What a cute airport - there is no security check here...

The setting sun paints my little plane in the sky...

Bye, bye Kangaroo Island...

And THANK YOU for the beautiful farewell...
