Adorable koalas in the eucalyptus trees, including a male who moved around and roared, yes koala males do sound awful :) They sleep 22 hours a day so most of them were fur balls, one or two to each tree. Wonder how they manage to eat 1-1,5 kilos of leaves in just two hours.
Seal bay very beautiful, with lots of seals. Sleeping, nursing, playing in the waves, arguing. One mum occupied a shaded spot under the well constructed walkways, pup so cute, maybe two meters distance. Cool whale skeleton stranded naturally.
Remarkable rocks were totally fantastic, I was last one back to the bus because pictures. They don't convey the fresh air, the clean smell and the sound of the breakers. Iron oxidation makes a red protection layer, like Uluru.
Next to us on the bus was a very nice couple from Melbourne, I adopted her to be my Kangaroo girl 😄
Admirals Arch was nice, and more seals. Lots of ramps and stairs there, which was no problem at all. Workout sessions past two years, payback time!
Food solutions hurried and crowded. Tour driver never stopped talking. He should also learn to stop the bus entirely for pictures - that slow rolling forward kills pictures because autofocus+suboptimal light+through bus windows. Therefore no pictures of: We saw kangaroos along the road, and eagles flew over the bus once. An wild enchidna waddled across the parking lot as star of the day.
Got back to Adelaide very late, this was a 16 hour tour with no time wasted. For more kangaroos, stay overnight. Recommended!
As usual, lots more pictures here.
Have to admit I lost the case and charger cable to the camera. Got a battery charger in Adelaide, and a new cable in Perth, so I can take more shots with the great camera Rita lent me. I'm very grateful, the Panasonic Lumix compact has been the envy of many fellow tourists, so easy to handle and so easy to get good shots. Memory chip fits straight into the PC. I've been posting a few of the best (personal opinion) pictures on Instagram. Besides cutting a few edges, and increasing light on one picture, none of my pictures from this trip have been adjusted in any way.
Adelaide hotel was a bit dated and worn. The so-called free wifi was at 256 kbps speed with a limit of 250 Mbytes per 24 hours! For 15$ (97,50 NOK) per day you get unlimited at 1 - one - whooping 1Mbps transfer rate, nothing better available. The option for in-room massage via the hotel worked a treat, though. Some things cannot be done over Internet.
Games: Seeker's Notes 40/54. A little HayDay. Have been introduced to very addictive Fallout Shelter. All on Ipad.
