Echidna crossing
•
@imogenbielby and I were wondering if we'd see an echidna. Then this happened. Slowed down from 110kmph on the main road to let our friend slowly cross. Perfect event to complete our trip!

Favourite Bay

Vivonne Bay is a classic. Also shout out to the Vivonne Bay General Store who do an epic whiting sandwich. Got us out of trouble once or twice.

Lighthouse on the cape

Great that this place is still as bright as ever in Flinders Chase and luckily escaped the fires. Nice time of day to see it again.

The remarkables
•
Wondered how close the fires came to this spot, apparently all the way to the edge. Now trimmed with green regrowth.

The road through Flinders Chase
•
Was both confronting and hopeful to see Flinders Chase National Park. Locals said that 95% of the park was burned in the fires but 18 months on we're seeing green shoots.

I went through this bay when hiking the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail in 2017, was crazy to see what it looks like now in Bushfire recovery mode.
