Hiking the Snake Lagoon Trail

, ,

Hiking on Kangaroo Island – Travel log no. 65

The birds woke us up early in the morning. I think I haven’t seen so many parrots in one place. The only downside was that their singing is actually horrible. Even more so if they are in large numbers.

Having a more relaxing day we started the day slowly. Had a good breakfast and did the Snake Lagoon trail to the ocean to take a swim.

On the way out there I was able to add another local animal to my check list.

Hedgehog, Australia
The Australian Hedgehog is the size of a small dog with a long noose and really scared.

The hike was beautiful. Straight through the bush until we came to a rocky river. The Rocky River has no floating water during this time of the year. We followed the riverbed until we got to the ocean.

The water of the ocean was called but after a couple of minutes you get used to it. We swam a little while and returned back to the camp for lunch.

After relaxing and reading most of the afternoon we drove out to Vivonne Bay. The last campground for this stay on Kangaroo Island.

Finally being able to sleep in my hammock again I fell asleep pretty early. While the others had a long discussion about what place would suit better for the night.
