Cormorants
Some cormorants taking a break from fishing. Well we call them Cormorants - but they're called Shags here!
Road Sign
Not something you see every day.
Just some rocks
Just liked the shape of these.
Dolphins
Yeah OK - they're not very clear but it's the best I could do.
Dolphins Playing
These guys wanted to play.
A Goanna
We had to stop to let this guy cross the road. Trouble is - just as he got half way across - he decided to wander back.
A Road to Nowhere
Kangaroo Island has 1000km of roads - with 80% of them just dirt tracks. Even the airport runway!
View from Cape Willoughby
On the Eastern side of the island. We stopped at a Cellar Door for a little wine tasting and something to eat. Mmmmmm.
The beach in Kingscote
This is the beach we went to on Christmas afternoon. Being a little cold - we were the only ones there!

Our 'Christmas Tree'
Pelicans waiting patiently
The 'Pelican Man' comes along every evening to feed them. They're very well behaved.
Looks like a classroom
Now the subject of today's lesson is.....FISH!
Now gather round class...
A cove....somewhere!
Can't remember where abouts it was - but it was at the end of a 20km long dirt road.
Another view of the cove.
Kevin - the Koala
Shauna just named him. No idea where Kevin came from. Perhaps he was at the bottom of the wine bottle!
An Inch Ant
Wanna know why they're called that?
A Platypus
OK - so it's not real - but it's the only one we saw at the Platypus Watering Hole.
Willy the Wallaby
Walking back along a path from the beach - he was just stood there watching us.
The Ant Hills are Big Here
An Australian Fur Seal
And some more...
Oh yeah. Here's some more!
David Coleman Rocks
Confused? OK - they're called 'Remarkable Rocks'!
A Remarkable Rock
This one looks like a parrot.
No idea who these guys are!
Just plain weird!
Untitled
Cool Dude!
OK - you can stop laughing now! No seriously - I said you can stop!!
Just another scenic shot

Do they forget in Victoria then?
Thought it's a weird thing to have along much of the road. Do they occasionally forget then?
