We then went off to an Eucalyptus Oil Distillery and met Edwina the Emu and fed her some lunch. On Kangaroo Island there are a lot of really cool little family owned places that make things that are local to the island like the eucalyptus oil and honey farms to name a few.
This picture is at Seal Bay where a number of seals live in a National Park so they are protected. There only predator is a shark when they go out for 3 days and 3 nights to sea to get food to bring back to their families. It was really funny when we got to this beach instead of being lined with people tanning it was lined with seals sleeping!
We went to a Koala sanctuary where they are kept in a protected environment so they don't become endangered.
I finally got to see a kangaroo in the wild and feed it! It was incredible it just came up to me and started eating out of my hand!
Some of the scenery on the island is absolutely beautiful. These rock formations are called the "Remarkable Rocks" There are different rock formations that you can make different pictures out of, I had quite the imagination to say the least!
These are New Zealand Fur Sea Lions that we saw. I literally got to see pretty much every kind of wild life Australia has to offer here on Kangaroo Island. The island is very protected from predators and many of the species were introduced many years ago and the island acts as a sanctuary to these animals.
These are pictures of some of the other scenery I saw....
The best part about this tour was that it was only myself and another Swiss girl on the tour so it was very personal and we didn't have to stick right to the itinerary we were able to stretch our limits a bit and see a bit more then a regular tour would get to see.
