Kangaroo Island to Adelaide April 22, 2011




We experience another beautiful sunrise. Then the clouds roll in. We are in search of the town roos and we found them. They were lying down and if you didn't know they were there, you could miss them. You thought you were looking at mules with big ears.

On the road to the ferry we stopped at a town called American River. There was a wharf where you could see pelicans and we stopped to take pictures of them. They had beautiful black and white plumage.

As we went on toward the ferry, we decided to stop at Prospect Hill, a big sand dune with 512 steps to the overlook. It was a beautiful vista, since this is a place that is the most narrow on the island and you can see off to both directions.

At the ferry terminal, there was a beach where penguins had their nests. They were out to sea during the day and come back at night, so we saw no penguins, but two wallabys. We were able to get on the earlier ferry, which allowed us plenty of time to get to Adelaide.
