The Kangaroo Island Tamar Wallaby or Notamacropus eugenii decres. Kangaroo Island is full of wildlife, which took a beating in the recent bushfires. The Doc visited for three weeks in 2014, about 8 years after the last big fire (full report here). Roadkill was plentiful as the wildlife was abundant. Click on image to see full size. Viva Cristo Ray.
The Doc has been a bit quite because he has been indexing 300,000 images for AWC and also preparing some images for photo competitions.
Here is a selection of the images The Doc will shortly enter into an Australian competition (you get the low res versions, some images are over 350 megapxiels). Click on each images to see the correct size.

On Kangaroo Island Westerns Grey Kangaroos are brown in colour not grey, having been cut off from the mainland for some time. Early one morning a mother and her joey were browsing on the shrubs at the Remarkables.
The Island named Kangaroo Island by Matthew Flinders who could see large numbers of kangaroos (and Tamar Wallabies) all over the Island.
This is sunrise at West End Bay, Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island (KI).
The Doc waited 2 1/2 weeks for a decent sunrise on KI. When it came it was a cracker. It was hard to post process this image, as I could only make very subtle changes or it looked fake.
About 9 years ago a large wildfire burnt out over 80% of the National Park. The fire was so intense that many of the mature trees were killed. There is now a double canopy, the dead upper layer and the regrowing green layer (actually black in this image). Click on image to see correct size.
The final region of KI, the North Coast. Some special places in this part of the Island, Western Cove and Pebbly Beach being favourites. Read Report here.
The North Coast Report was too long, so the Cape Borda Region of KI has been carved out. Read the Report here.
Back to finish off Kangaroo Island. Part 2(e) covers the American River Region. A small report this time, but the next Report on the North Coast is huge. Report here.
This Report covers central part of Kangaroo island. It will be the shortest of the reports. Parndana is a solders settlement. After World War 2 some large areas were cleared in the central part of KI to settle solders after their return from war. Report here.
Another huge update on Kangaroo Island. This time the South Coast covering places like D’Estrees Bay, Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park, Seal Bay, Vivonne Bay, Hanson Bay, Kelly Hill Caves and Flinders Chase National Park. Report here.
Part 2(b) has been posted on the Kingscote Region of Kangaroo Island, including Bay of Shoals, Brownlow, Nepean Bay, Western Cove and Wisanger and North Cape. Read here.
