 Beth watchs fish feeding time |
 Emu egg |
 Emu chick |
| We
then saw feeding time. Here Beth is watching a tank of puffer
fish and gobies being feed. We then went on the penguin walk from the Kangaroo
Island Marine Centre in Kingscote. They run a very nice facility and the staff
are very knowledgeable.
We
were able to see
and
hear
a
lot
of
penguins. The
next
day
we went Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery. They had an enclosure with an
emu nest, a
recently hatched chick and the father. |

 Emu dad and chick |
 Ecalyptus distillery |
 Another young joey |
| Here
are father and chick. We then saw the process of creating
eucalyptus oil. And, there was the obligatory orphaned joey hanging in
a sack at the
entrance. |

 Heath monitor |
 Kelly Hill Caves |
 Tour group in cave |
| On
the way out of the distillery there was a heath goanna (monitor lizard)
crossing the road. It was approximately 3.5 feet log. We then travelled
to the
Kelly Hill Cave complex. These are dry caves that formed inside a sand
dune. Very little water is moving inside the caves and therefore they are
largely inactive. |

 Wild koala |
 remarkable rocks |
 Another view of the rocks |
| At
lunch we had barbacued lamb chops and then wandered the grounds where
there were more adopted kangaroos and wild koalas. Next we moved onto
remarkable rocks. They are large granite bounders that are perched on a large
outcropping. |
