About Kangaroos and camping right on the beach – Travel log no. 63

After a stormy night in the car we drove off to Emu Bay. Like most beaches on the island it is possible to access them by car.

To overcome our back pain from sleeping upright in the car we went to check out the local oyster farm. We shared half a dozen freshly harvested oysters and it was delicious.

Afterwards we drove to Stokes Bay were we finally found more wildlife.

The kangaroo’s on Kangaroo Island are completely different from their relatives on the main land.

Afterwards we drove to a small rest area in a neighbor bay which we choose as our campsite for tonight.

We camped right on the beach which was completely abandoned. Little did we know that night about the bad surprise we should experience the next day.
