I slept surprisingly well
considering I hated being underground. Our first stop this morning was a
Kangaroo Sanctuary. The sanctuary rescued kangaroos that had been injured in
fights or road accidents and helped them to be released back into the wild.
They were really friendly
and came right up to us. We also got to see a baby joey kangaroo called Fergal.
Some tourists had found him on the side of the road so brought him in. He was
so young he couldn’t stand up yet and had to be bottle fed every 4 hours. Super
cute!
Whilst I was there I
bought a gorgeous print of Uluru. Another ridiculous item that I will need to carry in my suitcase!
Most of the day was spend
driving as we tried to get to the South Coast. We stopped at a few roadhouses
on the way including one in a town called Hawka.
We got to Port Augusta it
seemed really strange to be back in an area with an actual town. We had been
used to really tiny places in the dessert with red dirt everywhere for the
previous two weeks. It made a change to see ocean for the first time since
Darwin.
We spent around 45 minutes in Port Augusta
before heading to Quorn, which was again back to being in the middle of
nowhere. I shared a room with Kate and Kayla. We had dinner there, and after
quite a long phone call home, I went to bed.
