Day #1 - Adelaide to Kangaroo Island |
After meeting your ATA guide and fellow travellers we drive
south of Adelaide through the scenic hills of the Fleurieu
Peninsula to Cape Jervis. Here we board the Sealink ferry
to cross Backstairs Passage to Kangaroo Island - a 45 minute
journey to Penneshaw. Once
on shore, we stretch our legs while searching for Tammar
Wallabies and the Glossy Black Cockatoo before
heading to one of the Island’s most stunning surf beaches
at Pennington Bay. Our next stop and the highlight
for most is the opportunity to walk amongst Australian
Sea Lions, in their natural habitat on a guided interpretive
walk at Seal Bay.
We
then play and explore on the magnificent white sand dunes
at Little Sahara, visit Vivonne Bay and search
for koalas at the Hanson Bay Koala Sanctuary. We
arrive at our farm-stay late afternoon and after dinner
search for kangaroos, wallabies and possums on a guided
nocturnal walk. (LD) |
|
Day #2 - Kangaroo Island to Adelaide |
Our morning is spent in the Flinders Chase National Park
starting with an interpretive walk (4km return) at
Snake Lagoon. We wind our way through the Rocky River
Valley to the Southern Ocean, learning about
the native flora and fauna of this unique eco-system.
We then make our way to Remarkable Rocks for a leisurely
stroll amongst the huge weather-sculptured granite outcrops,
visit Admirals Arch at Cape du Couedic to watch the
resident colony of New Zealand fur seals frolic in the ocean
or bask in the sun and then break for lunch at Rocky River
Headquarters, with time to check out the Information Centre.
Following lunch, we travel through the central farming region
to Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery - the only commercial
distillery in operation in SA followed by a tasting of locally
produced wines! We return to Penneshaw for our journey back
to Adelaide. (BL) |
