The trip to King Island has been on the drawing board for a while, and we had hoped to do this in our motor home (while we had it.) But that is behind us now and we are reduced to a mere automobile. We did this trip in October 2025, heading first for Mornington in Victoria where we caught up with out travelling pals, John and Anne Mann.
From there we spent a few days across the Great Ocean Road, battling very high winds, Adelaide and then down to Cape Jervis where we left our car. We had a lovely home at Kingscote on Kangaroo Island and of course John and Anne provided the transport.
KI was delightful and we spent four days exploring before heading back to the mainland. John and Anne’s friends in Goolwa shared their home with us for another four days and we explored Victor Harbor and the Coorong. This is a beautiful part of the world where the Murray River finishes its journey, pushing the last of ts water into the Southern Ocean which seems to push back with equal force.
We had a couple of days in the Riverland region, catching up with friends Brenton and Claire at their self-built home at Moorook before making a quick dash to Sydney to meet up with Marchiko and Satoshi from Japan who were in Australia for a few days with their daughter and her young family.
We squeezed all this in in 3 and a half
