This morning we woke up moored in a small Bay at Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Isl. has a population of about 4000. It is 100 Mile long by 35 mile wide. The economy consists out of farming, fishing, tourism and the odd winery. Two years ago they had a bad bush fire what killed about 40,000 sheep and 20,000 Koalas. This was a tender port, this means that we had to take the lifeboats to shore. We got to shore around 9:30.We didn’t book any shore excursions for today. The town was called Penneshaw. First thing we stopped at a coffee place for a couple of flat whites. Next was the post office for sending cards to the grandkids. We followed a path up to the local museum, it consisted out of 3 small rooms filled with local items from the past and recovered from sunken ships. On the way back we visited a local small market before we set off on a sculpture trail. From the trail we had scenic views across the Bay. It took us about 45 min. to complete the trail. Before we hadded back on the tender, we picked up a few things at the IGA supermarket. The remainder of the afternoon we spend on the ship for a 5 PM departure. For the evening we enjoyed a Australian dinner on the ship, compleet with a taste of Kangaroo and Australian wine.
