KI Day 2

 After a warm night in a local school, sleeping in bunkbeads, we headed off exploring.  The first thing we came across was a wild koala, sitting at the bottom of a tree right next to a car park.  He was just sitting and staring at all the onlookers and eventually decided we were being   too noisy and headed on up the tree.   We headed down the coast towards Remarkable Rocks and we could have been in Cornwall.  It was very cloudy but incredibly warm - about 28 degrees.  The views were all just like the Cornish coastal ones except there were far less people.
 Once we got to Remarkable Rocks, we explored, taking heed of the notices warning us not to go over certain parts of them.  There'd be no chance of me risking life and limb for a better view!   Once again, the views reminded me of the Cornish coast.



 
The rocks were huge, too huge for me to climb most of them but some people had great fun climbing and jumping off.


 The views were amazing and it was really interesting to discover that KI was the place the Cook first discovered and he mistakenly thought it was the mainland.  KI is the second largest island off the coast of Australia.
