Just
Cruisin 2 Day Kangaroo Island Farm Stay
DAY
1: Depart Adelaide approximately 7:00AM for Kangaroo
Island. We travel along some of South Australia's magnificent
coastline to Cape Jervis where we board the Kangaroo Island
Sealink to Penneshaw. On arrival we take some time discovering
Penneshaw which is situated on the north-east coast of
Kangaroo Island, offering a commanding view of the mainland
just 18 kilometres away across Backstairs Passage. We
now follow the coast towards Kingscote stopping at Prospect
Hill. The hill is the highest point in the area and provides
a marvellous view of Pelican Lagoon, the rolling hills
and the Southern Ocean at Pennington Bay which is a wonderful
surf beach. On a clear day looking north you can see Mount
Lofty in the Adelaide Hills. We now head to the south
coast of the island. It is now onto Seal Bay , a large
sandy beach and dune area where Australian sea lions rest
and nurse their young. We see these rare sea lions under
the guidance of a National Parks Ranger. We walk on the
beach within a few metres of the resting sea lions, basking
in the sun. We now head to Little Sahara, an area of spectacular
white sand dunes surrounded by bush vegetation. Climbing
over the first ridge you are confronted by a second and
much higher dune, which when scaled reveals more dunes
flanked by bushland. Vivonne Bay is also visited and can
only be described as stunningly beautiful. Vivonne Bay
is the only safe harbour on the south coast of the island
and is the base cray fishing and game fishing boats. Overnight
Flinders Chase farmstay or Timber Creek Lodge.
DAY
2: Today we visit Flinders Chase National Park, one
of Australia's largest covering 74,000 hectares. Here
you will see many of the animals and birds you have come
to see. At Rocky River it is possible to view koalas in
the nearby trees. At Cape du Couedic we view the lighthouse
which was constructed in 1906 and considered to be the
islands finest structure. We then proceed down a walkway
to Admirals Arch, the home to a colony of New Zealand
Fur Seals. We travel east to Remarkable Rocks; a cluster
of huge, weather sculptured granite boulders perched on
a granite dome that swoops 75 metres to the sea. We now
visit Parndana Wildlife Park (optional tour) where we
see Kangaroo Islands largest privately owned collection
of native animals and birds. We now take in the sights
around Kingscote including Cygnet River and Duck Lagoon
and Emu Bay. This long beach is one of the most popular
spots on the island with safe clear water for swimming.
We head to Penneshaw where we board the Kangaroo Island
Sealink for trip back to Cape Jervis. We now head to Adelaide,
arriving approximately 9:30PM.
