Visit To An Island: Part 2

When I left you, we were frolicking on Baudin Beach on Kangaroo Island. Baudin Beach was named after the French explorer Nicolas Baudin who charted the southern coast of the island in 1803. At around the same time, the English navigator Matthew Flinders was charting the northern coast, closest to the mainland. On 4 April 1802 he climbed this 'sandy eminence' and named it Prospect Hill.

As you can see, there are now stairs to facilitate the ascent but *phew* it was still a tough climb. We were rewarded by this view however.
As the whole hill is a sand dune, there was plenty of evidence of wildlife on the sandy ground.

This sign however, might have been more useful if it had illustrated the tracks of Nike, Adidas and Puma. There seemed to be plenty of those around!
Our other stop on the way to the hill was a small cove near Pennington Bay where we were delighted to find this wonderful sandhill just perfect for rolling down.
Of course, those of us who preferred climbing to rolling were rewarded when they reached the topby this sensational view at their feet. We found shells which sang of the sea and hid in rock crevices. It's amazing how much fun you can have just exploring. Eventually we came home to a game of, my new favourite, Rummikub Word.
And this guy in the toilet!
More tomorrow.
