2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 6 – Part 2

Day 6 Part one covered sunrise at Remarkable Rocks, Vivonne and Hanson Bay, but I left the Raptor Domain for a birds of prey show for it’s own blog post, as I took so many photos. I got to hold a tawny frog mouth called Moppet and a masked owl called Matilda. We also saw…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 14

We got up again early, we had to get home before the heat got bad, Melbourne was now catching this late Summer heatwave too. We only really made minimal stops for petrol, food, drinks and such. We actually went a different route home before via Lismore and stopped at the mural art by Jimmi Buscombe,…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 13

Got up early again to try and beat the heat. We packed up the car and said a sad farewell to the house in Aldinga Bay, such a fabulous spot to stay for a few days. We drove back through the Adelaide Hills in the morning sun. Drove through Murray Bridge heading for Mt Gambier.…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 12

Up early to beat the heat. Southern Australia (SA and Victoria) was heading for a very late Summer heatwave. We headed into Adelaide, we wanted to visit a few gardens before it got too hot, but they were all closed to the public for a big festival on the weekend. We also gave up on…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 11

Another bit of a late start, a sleep-in is always nice on holidays when you’re in no rush! We then drove along the coast to Silver Sands Beach at Aldinga Bay. No car parking in the street, as everyone parks on the beach. When in Rome lol. So we drove onto the beach too. We…

No early morning for us, instead a leisurely breakfast before heading out to the hills. First stop Hahndorf. Oh some fabulous vintage and quirky steampunk shopping. A yummy coffee and scones with Beeremburg jam (of course) with more shopping, followed by lunch at Haus. Followed by more shopping.  We finally called it quits, full belly,…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 9

After a night spent with spider nightmares lol (refer our spider friend from Day 8!), we woke early and tried to have breakfast and found our bread was mouldy. Filled up with fuel, but nothing else opened so we gave up and left Parndana, not the world’s most exciting place, frankly glad to see the…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 8

This was our last full day on KI, and halfway through our road trip. We’d seen and done pretty much everything we wanted and now went looking for things to fill our day. We started by sleeping in and then packed the car, as we were leaving KI caravan park. We drove out to Parndana…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 7

Up even earlier today as we hoped the sky would pop like yesterday. But this time we thought we’d try Cape de Couedic Lighthouse. We had high hopes, but sadly no real colour and it clouded over by the time it was near sunrise. Still, it was quite moody, even if there was no real…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 6 – Part 1

Up super early as we planned on catching the sunrise at Remarkable Rocks. We watched the sky light up before us and we misjudged the drive in, but it was incredible to watch. Still a beautiful morning and we caught most of it, but the pre-dawn colour was astounding. Just proves you can never tell.…
