We recently went to Kangaroo Island, better known as “KI” locally.

KI is Australia’s the third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island (off the coast of the Northern Territory). It is located 112km SW of Adelaide.

We started the day quite early with a taxi to central bus station. From there we went by bus to Cape Jervis at 6:45am , then caught the KI Sealink ferry from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw. Once on Kangaroo Island, we hopped on board a Sealink tour bus for a ‘one day highlights’ tour of KI.

The itinerary for the day was as follows:

• Seal Bay Guided Beach Tour
• Hanson Bay Sanctuary Koala Walk
• Flinders Chase National Park
• Remarkable Rocks
• Admirals Arch
• 2 Course Lunch

Our first stop was seal bay conservation park where we met some lovely seals:

The next stop was interesting as we met a South African lady who now helps to run the Hanson Bay Sanctuary. We saw up to 6 koalas on a brief walk. Here is a picture of one:

We then went to Vivonne Bay, where we enjoyed a lovely two course lunch:

We ended the day back in Penneshaw for fish & chips. Then the journey back to Adelaide. It was an excellent day thanks to Leonie’s last minute booking!

In August, Wayne and Leonie attended the Pioneer School for two weeks. We received lots of Bible-based training which will help equip us in the Christian volunteer work that we do. We can truly say that Jehovah is the ‘Grand Instructor’ after receiving this training which was a real blessing and a privilege. Oh, Wayne also picked up a bit of weight from the lovely meals provided!

Its been a while since we posted an update, so we thought that we could share a few things that have been happening lately. In February we enjoyed a great holiday to South Africa, New York, Hawaii and Auckland. We were able to spend some quality time with our families while in South Africa. From there we went to New York where we were able to visit the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses which was a real privilege. We then went to Hawaii for a few days where we enjoyed visiting the islands of Oahu, Big Island and Maui. On the way back to Australia, we spend a day in Auckland, New Zealand.

We will post further updates with more information about the trip soon. Here are a few highlights from our trip:

We will post more updates and pics soon.
