This is Roxy, a joey (baby kangaroo) who was rescued from her mommas pouch when she was hit and killed by a car. Unfortunately, there are plenty of kangaroo roadkill on the island :( She was really sweet, I wanted to scoop her up and take her home! Scroll down to the bottom to see the video of me petting Roxy.
In the past I've been skiing...I've been snow boarding...I've gone sledding...I've now officially gone surfing...so today I thought I'd give sand boarding a GO!!! I'm glad I did, it was SO much fun :) I didn't end up eating too much sand, thank goodness, but by the end of it I had enough sand in my pants to fill somewhat of a small sand box!!! We had a really fun group and were doing all sorts of cartwheels and flips on the sand dunes...we ended up here for hours!
Remarkable Rocks - Xenoliths are massive rocks on top of a sea cliff, and over time they are cut and shaped by the wind, salt, and harsh weather conditions finally looking something like this. And let me say, that it was sooo windy up on these rocks that they need a new word for WIND! I don't think I hit this much blowing unimaginable "wind" when I went sky diving at 14,000 feet up!!! We almost fell off of these darn rocks taking pictures, it was absolutely relentless!
Ladies and Gentlemen - The World's Biggest Rocking Horse! In the Guinness Book of World Records...Ta-da! LOL For a whopping $2 you can climb up to the top, and they give you a certificate stating that in fact you had climbed up...I am not that much of a tourist to do that, thank you very much.
We also did some wine tasting at Jacobs Creek...and that's all I'll say...
SEAL BAY - Again we had a great time just hanging out until this momma seal came out of the bushes behind us and pretty much ignored everyone as she passed. Then, she found a rock sticking up out of the sand and had a nice loooong good scratch, like 10 minutes...it was halarious!!! See for yourself! Our guide pointed out that this particular sea lion had a deep scar on her back indicating that she had survived a shark attack too, talk about a strong woman :)
