Part 2 Kangaroo Island: The Galapagos of Australia

It has been a few months since March when we visited Kangaroo Island. But as promised, here are some more photos of our AMAZING experience. The wildlife is incredible! On this 4-day trip, we were up close and personal with sea lions, koalas, kangaroos, exotic birds, dolphins & iguanas!

Sealions bathing in the sun, Sealions swimming the frigid Southern Ocean, colorful birds flying, iguanas hiding in brush.


Snoozin koala, sleepy koala, climbin koala! We caught this one in action! They sleep 23 hours a day! Lazzzzy

Seals sleep when they are on land...exhausted from fishing expeditions. Here we see some cuddling among the birds, a baby seal after getting a meal from momma, and a Big Papa seal stretching from a big nap!

Taken from our  room at Southern Ocean Lodge. These dolphins were having a great time swimming early in the morning!

How cute are they!!!

This is "seal bay" on Kangaroo Island. There are hundreds of seals sleeping. They swim out in the ocean for days then return to eat and sleep. They picked a great place to setup camp!

Fighting as all mammals do. If you've seen my dogs, Gus and Fred play, it's the exact same thing! haha
