Of sea lions and remarkable stones

I am now on Kangaroo Island, an island south of Adelaide. When I arrived at the hotel, I asked about activities, and the good man at reception was very happy about it and told me about the island's attractions.

Watching penguins - I already have

Wildlife park - I've been there

Brewery visit - er, I don't drink alcohol

Eating fresh oysters - uh, no

Watching sea lions on the beach - yes, that sounds good

Look at the remarkable rocks and admirals arch in the national park - yes, I can do that

and there is also a small Sahara - uhhh sounds interesting

So the plan was set. Watch sea lions in the morning, go to the small Sahara at lunchtime and then go to the national park in the afternoon

The sea lions are lying lazily on the beach in Seals Bay, the rest are out and about in the water. With a ranger you can go to the beach and look at the sea lions from 10m away. I don't necessarily want to get any closer. As lazy as the sea lions look when they're on the move, they're pretty fast and big!!!

Around midday I stood in front of the little Sahara, or actually I was standing in the middle of it! A huge sand dune for me. I really wanted to go up there. I wanted to look over the top. But there was a reason why the footprints stopped about 2m before the summit. It just couldn't get any higher - you sink into the sand. Well then unfortunately not...

In the afternoon we continued to Flinders Chase National Park. There you can see the Remarkable Rocks. LARGE stones that are really remarkably shaped. They look incredibly great. Sanded really smooth.

At a vantage point beforehand I could see 2 large tour buses with lots of people, which I could take some decent photos of. My thought was, if I don't hurry now, they'll be just behind me at the Remarkable Rocks and I won't see any of the remarkable stones anymore. As soon as I parked my car there, the buses arrived behind me. But I hurried, ran quickly to the stones and took my photos even more quickly. Because I could already see them coming, almost 60 people - all with the mission of taking lots of photos.

We continued to Admirals Arch. I had no idea what I was imagining, so I guess I had to be surprised. When we arrived at the cliffs, we first went down a lot of stairs. Aha, so Admirals Arch is down! At the bottom we continued over a wooden walkway and then around a bend: There was the admirals arch - an impressive grotto or actually a hole with stalactites on the ceiling.

On the way back I could see an echidna (echidna) running across the streets right in front of me - so small and soooo cute. Unfortunately I couldn't take a photo because I had cars behind me...
