Mondays Musings

My holidays are finished and this morning I am back at work (well my part-time job anyway). We had a most relaxing break, just staying at home. We had a cleanup and declutter around the house. Sadly while we stayed home, many parts of Australia are burning. Above are photos I took on Kangaroo Island,…

We then stopped at Weirs Cove, most tourists seem to bypass it, but it was wonderful, I could not look down to the steps and little jetty so far below! Now that is what you call a long drop jetty. This is where fresh supplies were offloaded by boat for the lighthouse keepers (Cape de…

After already having quite a day out, we then proceeded to drive down to Seal Bay for our Sea Lion guided tour on the beach. It was about one hour long and quite good, there were a few sea lions, mostly asleep on the sand, not quite as good as Cape Palliser in New Zealand,…

Following on from Little Sahara, we then headed off to Vivonne Bay jetty for a quick look around before heading back to the Roadhouse for lunch. We went to the Vivonne Bay beach, some stayed, but we felt it was just another pretty beach, with little to offer apart from sand and water. I know…

After a great morning and way too many photos later at the Raptor Domain, we headed off to Little Sahara, a natural sand dunes area for sandboarding and playing. While some walked the two large dunes, I played with the wildflowers in the area and captured grasses in the low lying dune area, not really…
