Last days on Kangaroo Island

G'day Mates!

Sorry it took so long to publish a  new story but we are very busy at the moment. In the mean time as you know, we left Kangaroo Island, have been in Adelaide, have been looking for some gold and are now in Berwick where we started a year ago with our travel.
The reason we are here is that we are leaving in 2 1/2 weeks for the Netherlands were we will be for 4 months, so my fans who've never been there will get a great bonus, they will be surprised with stories of the other lover this blog is all about.

But before we are that far, I have to catch up with the adventures we had last few weeks so there is no time to waist, lets start;

This is the last one of Kangaroo Island and we are going to American River. We weren't even a few k's on our way or we were stuck already;



On the way up we stopped at Prospect Hill, the highest point in the area and well worth the climb of 512 steps;



This view is towards the mainland and on a clear day you can even see Mt Lofty, near Adelaide...


This is the point where the independence trail walk starts.
I planned to do this walk but we were still exhausted of the 512 steps haha...


we also got hungry from the 512 steps but the famous Oyster Farm Shop was closed, not that we wanted to have oysters because we don't even like them, but they also suppose to have fish and chips so we had to find some other place and we found this little cafe on the end of American River;

The fish and chips was good but the lettuce wasn't, most probably because it wasn't KI fresh lettuce!


After lunch we went to the American River wharf and ramps on Tangara Drive, just to have a look around......


nice clear water....






American River is a quiet, friendly fishing village, home to some 250 people and if you want to spend your holidays or just a few days here, there is a self-registration campground with power, BBQ and toilets which just looked terrific, its even near the wharf!


Then we drove via the Redbanks Road towards Red Banks at Nepean Bay ;



after a stroll along the beach we had a rest......


beautiful white sand.... 


lovely beer......what else do you want hey??


Going somewhere or coming home, most of the time drive on our own private driveway which is through the paddocks so we can say hello to the Geese, Ducks and Sheep..... 


Its nearly time to leave, we will also miss the Daltons, these 4 ducks were 24 hrs together and hanging around our caravan all the time. They were so funny and because they always walked after each other, I named them The Daltons....




Via our own driveway we drove away, David leaving behind, waving.....


At the ferry, someone of the crew was so nice to back our car and caravan into the ferry...



a last look at Kangaroo Island......







Cheers!
