One of the common questions we have been asked in our journeys is 'Have you been to Kangaroo Island?' We can say we have seen it from the main land, but never visited. There is quite a price to take the motorhome across, but the lady in the office in the Beach Front Caravan Park at Victor Harbor told us that there are tours starting from Victor Harbor to Kangaroo Island. So we walked down to the v ... read more

Marg and Rob purchased a Horizon Wattle (Mercedes Sprinter) motorhome built by Ballina Campers and planned to circumnavigate Australia over the following couple of years, collecting it just after Rob retired in May 2011. The couple of years grew out to over 4 years during which time we travelled from Brisbane to Perth return accross the Nullarbor both ways in 2011; in 2012 we travelled various places on the East Coast of Australia. The highlight of the year was our October November trip to Port Douglas which included the total eclipse of the sun. 2013 saw us do a 'Lap' or 'Trip around the blo... full info

What a great day!
Sometimes, we just have to go beyond our budgets to see remarkable sights. Loved the rocks and animals! Our California fur seals were near extinct, but they too have bounded back--best wishes for those NZ ones. So curious that this is named Kangaroo Island, but most of the animals viewed weren't your famous marsupials. Love your unique koalas and wallaby!

Kangaroo Island
There are plenty of kangaroos here, mostly the grey kangaroo, a few wallaroos or euros, and lots of smaller marsupials such as the wallaby. The larger roos tend to be well out of site in daylight hours. We saw quite a few from the coach on this trip towards dusk. The Japanese guests were excited, but the driver didn't stop for photo opportunities as wwe were hard pushed to get some guests onto a flight to Adelaide. Marg and I were really keen to see the seals and sea lions, and the remarkable rocks was a pleasant surprise.
