KI Day 2

Tuesday, 21 December 2021

Because we come so regularly it's often a challenge to find new places to visit, but armed with a new KI Map app we had a pretty good stab at it today!We started by bumping down a typical Kangaroo Island dirt road to a place called Redbanks, for obvious reasons..

It was pretty cool.

Then we went onwards to Kingscote - the largest town on the island but one we seldom visit. We went to the honey shop, the art gallery, and most excitingly of all.. the hardware shop, which was stuffed full of everything. We bought some piping bags, eyeball cupcake decorations, a ridiculous cow shaped jug, and some other stuff that definitely wouldn't normally be classified as hardware.  We could also have bought a birdcage, flippers, and christmas themed toilet paper but we had to consider luggage space and whether or not we had lost our sanity.

After Kingscote we did a quick stop at Emu Bay - which has a nice jetty and beach but I'm always put off by the fact that it's full of 4wds.  

From there we proceeded to another brand new place (for me anyway) - the KI Lavender Farm. It's not got a lot of lavender really (compared to what I've seen in Tassie), but it had a lovely place to each lunch.

Just down the road was the Eucalyptus Distillery place. It wasn't that exciting and once I got there I remembered I had actually been there before.

Then we went on to our last stop, Cliffords Honey Farm, which we go to every time we visit because they have lovely honey icecream. I should have more photos of the kids but I could only find this tiny one of Jett in this collage from a previous visit.

The kids sort of humoured me with a new photo. They are monsters.

After our icecream we headed home with full stomachs. After a short rest I went out for a walk around the newish sculpture trail near the town.

I got back to the house just in time for our 5pm swim at the local beach. What a lovely day.
