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 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…

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.…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 5

Time to leave Kingscote and head to Cape Borda. We stopped for a tasty breakfast first and then the long dusty trip out to the Cape. We never made it on our last visit as the roads were closed. It is not open every day, so it pays to check online. We finally made it…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 3

Yet another early morning, as we wanted to have plenty of time for the 45-minute drive from Victor Harbor to Jarvis Bay to catch the ferry over to KI. You never know, right? But we had a very pleasant drive in the early morning sunshine, and even got there early. Once we loaded the car…

2024 South Australia & Kangaroo Island Road Trip – Day 2

We chose to get up super early and headed back to Little Desert. A gorgeous sunrise, but nowhere to really capture its glory. Little Desert is really a forest with a few bits of daylight. Perhaps if we headed over to the river sooner we may have gotten some good reflections. But, we were looking…

It’s been a little while, but we’ve just been on another road trip. Back to South Australia (SA) and a week on Kangaroo Island (KI). We visited KI way back in 2019, a few months before the fires devastated so much of this Island Paradise and just before we knew what COVID was! It seems…
