Kangaroo Island (part 2)

We moved on to Emu Bay on the north part of the island and took the Landcruiser across the top, west, on unsealed roads to Stokes Bay and Hidden Beach. We enjoyed a primitive campground at Emu Bay, only because it was beach front and the views were great. The campground had been moved across the road, but they had left all the facilities behind, but that was okay, because it meant that if we needed the facilities after dark we got to see the most glorious night sky we have ever seen.

Hidden Beach, so called as you walk through a fascinating 100m of rock tunnel to then be greated with this view.

Emu Bay, great little fishing jetty and  headland walk, love the orange on the rocks

We saw dolphins in the bay here at Emu Bay

George’s Place...a castle even with high turrents we could climb. 16 years in the making and quite in the middle of nowhere, at night if you phone ahead they will turn on the 52,000 lights.

Old Wisanger school, free to enter, jusy bolt the door and close the gate behind you

Kingscote was next for 2 nights so we could attend Church. We rode our bikes all day Saturday, the Caravan Pk is 4km south of the town centre, but still on the beach, and there is a great bike path all the way to Reeves Point, the site of the first South Australian settlement in 1836. We spent hours exploring the historical precinct, lots of interesting stories about the first settlers,  walking jetties, and geocaching.

This mullberry tree was planted in 1836
