Amazing, wonderful, fabulous Kangaroo Island

We arrived in kangaroo Island and went to a honey farm and then a eucalyptus distillery. All very calm and civlised.

The following day we went to Paul's Wildlife Park and it was madness. Three hours of being bombarded with animals of all shapes and sizes. There were kangaroos, a fawn, sheep, koalas, lobsters, mice, emus and lots more. We've not laughed so much for ages. A family had tipped us off about the place months ago and it exceeded expectations. As soon as we got through the gate I had a 30kg kangaroo thrust into my arms which I fed with a bottle of milk. We shared the visit with about 20 others, including 4 Indian families that seemed to make the experience even funnier.

Here's me with the food bucket being literally attacked by animals. The emus and the sheep were the worst.

Nic took over the feeding thank goodness:

Next we got to cuddle a koala:

Nic also had food poured on him and attacked by emus:
We also went to see the Remarkable Rocks:





We went down the koala walk during the day and at night and saw lots of wild koalas:












We also saw sea lions:

and penguins coming home:




Kangaroo Island is a majical place full to bursting with wildlife. Very Special.
