A Whale of a Time: KANGAROO ISLAND & ADELAIDE

"KANGAROO ISLAND"
on my Birthday

The next day was my Birthday we went to KANGAROO ISLAND, 'wow' what a lovely island that is. They are very environmental on all aspects. We did a tour for the day, bus pick up at 6-20am a two hour drive to ferry and the a 45minute ride to the Island and a full day bus trip around the island with a great tour guide Kevin, he had great knowledge of the island as he was once a farmer himself there, we got the boat back about 7-30pm and then bus back to Adelaide city arriving at 10-45pm. We certainly recommend a trip to their Island.

Lazy creatures, but still beautiful

The saying goes "Silly old Galah"

Kangaroos on the Island are a smaller than on the mainland

Makes Dave look small, facinating place, full of different landscapes.

The Island has so many beautiful views.

As we were leaving to see the New Zealand Fur Seals they have this basket to show everyone what rubish is going into the ocean that hurts the wildlife there, makes you think.

While on the Island for my Birthday an Australian Horse called "BLACK CAVIAR" won in Adelaide, she had now won 20 races from 20, since then she won again in Adelaide now 21 out of 21 races. She is going over to England to race for the "Queen's Jubilee" good on you Black Caviar.

Back to Adelaide

The next day Sunday morning we decidede to go to Glenelg Adelaide. We haven't been there since our son Evan did springboard diving championships 26 years. It still look similar only now with high rise all along the coast. It was a nice feeling going back to have a look.

Back to Adelaide City there was a Food & Wine Festival (how nice to put on such a great event for us). It was packed with people all along the river. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as it was just down from our hotel "Intercontinental" so we didn't have to drive. Oh! by the way if you are a senior they allow anyone from any state to use their card. We didn't pay any fare the whole time we were there except for the day tour to Kangaroo Island. Even going to Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills was free. During the week 9-30am to 3pm it is free and free all weekend.
