Kangaroo Island - Emu Bay

On Kangaroo Island we stayed at Emu Bay. The views were magnificent and the beach was incredible. As you can see we were able to drive onto the beach and spend time in the warmish water. The kids loved the sand and we loved how close we were to the beach.


When we arrived at Emu Bay we were amazed how quickly we saw the wildlife that is so abundant and common on Kangaroo Island. This goanna was on the driveway by our cottage when we were checking in. Each of the kids got a close up with Jared finally scaring it away.

We spotted this Kangaroo on the way to dinner resting under a tree close to our cottage.

On the way home that night, John continued driving around to find more Kangaroos to the frustration of Colin...who told John to quit being "the world's best wildlife photographer" and take us home.

John took this sunrise picture on Saturday morning before the kids and I woke up. He enjoyed an early morning walk with his parents and also spotted the Galahs in the trees close to our place.
And finally, sunset over the kids' cubby house. It was brilliant!
