The Doc has now explored the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, especially around Victor Harbour and the mouth of the Mighty Murray, he then moved on to Kangaroo Island for 3 weeks and will return to Sydney the long way, via Yango and Mungo National Parks.

When he returns home he will first post the Easter Island update which is written, then the Kangaroo Island Report and finish with Fleurieu. The Doc may also add Mungo National Park.

The Kangaroo Island Report will be divided into 3 parts: KI main attractions, Around KI and lastly KI wildlife.

The main KI attractions are the Remarkable Rocks, the Lighthouses (mostly Cape du Couedic Lighthouse) and Admirals Arch. Others include Raptor Domain and the Australian and New Zealand Fur seals (to be in The Doc’s Widllife Report). This what the one day tour involves. One day visitors sure miss a lot.

A small sample, the sunrise at West End Bay The Doc waited 2.5 weeks to get.
