Kangaroo Island
Finally, I made to here. The ten days flew and I enjoyed my stay here. I’ve seen echidnas, kangaroos, wallabies, cape baron geese, goanas, and many eucalypt species. I got so close to the wildlife that I could record some nice movies. Suddenly the dreaming country becomes true. I will never forget that I spend half an hour with an echidna. With its black pointed snout and cute little black eyes it wasn’t even bothered by my presence. Oh boy, most photos and videos took a lot of time. My patience this time got heavily rewarded. I almost forget to mention the temperature controlling ants. On cool days they put little black stones to heat up their nest. On warmer days you find small pieces of white rock on the nest. It’s the first place whee I’ve seen ants doing this. Clever they’re.
And then I was WWOOFing too. I met some nice other WWOOFers and hosts. A couple of times we had dinner together. I made ‘oliebollen’ and trifle for the last dinner. And it was here where we played the card game ‘shithead’! What a brilliant game. See also boxed text.
Swimming in the salt lake, hanging around on one of the most beautiful beaches, and bush walking were almost daily activities. You can imagine that time went fast on the island.
