Lion and Tigers and Bears and Kangaroos...minus the first 3

I apologize to both my fans for not posting yesterday, it was a test to see how large the outcry for more would be...actually the internet was down so that made it more difficult to post things to the web. Anyway, what happened since then. well we went and looked at more birds. as most of you probably realized two sentences into anything i say about birds, there's a limit to how long you can stay interested in them. i reached my limit yesterday when my dad started chasing tiny brownish bird number 34 when an amazing landmark that linked australia to the antartic is literally within sight. this landmark is called remarkable rocks. they certainly were worth a remark or two...and they were fun to climb on

For an idea of scale, there are people walking around down there

There was also Admiral's Arch about a kilometer away. I think it must be an admiral of fur seals, because that's really all that was there, no people in crisp navy suits and funny hats. It was an absolutely beautiful plac, as kangaroo island are in general. So after looking at those things and birds we called a day. the rest was lazing around and reading. we looked at the stars, and they were even more clear than in rural maine. also i'm guessing the southern cross can only be seen in the southern hemisphere. That was yesterday, today we got up before 7 to catch a plane to adelaide where i'm currently sitting. by the end of the day we should be in Hobart, Tasmania.
Other notes. I've had so much steak in the past day its absurd. Steak for dinner night before last, it was great. our hosts saw i enjoyed it so much that they gave me all the extra bits (easily as much as i'd already had). guess what was for lunch the next day. more beef. sigh, yum, aahhhh, loosen belt (beef not kangaroo meet for anyone wondering). A goofy looking bird we saw that's definitely worth mentioning is the spoonbill. Not to be mistaken with the razorbill, the knifebill, chopstick bill, vacuum bill, or the forkbill (at least one of those is real, you guess).

The Arch/gateway to a new world. Pretty Magical view
