Day 2 Coodlie Park

The Eyre Peninsula is one of those great secrets not many people have yet discovered. Teeming with some of Australia's most amazing and outstanding real wildlife experiences, the lack of a nearby major airport and too far to drive for most domestic travellers, this piece of paradise is one that only those who have been, can give that knowing smile of discovery of a very special place indeed. Today we travel through the Gawler Ranges National Park and wonder at the abundant wildlife casually grazing in this majestic landscape. We have lunch in the shadows of South Australia own Wave Rock. After 1 hour drive we visit the fishing village of Venus Bay and do the South headland walk. Our accommodation is a farm stay. This working farm of traditional cropping and a project of tree planting on their own land to offset their own carbon emissions. In the evening we head out in search of some wildlife on land. In this remote and undisturbed country it is quite possible to see all of kangaroos, emus and wombats. That's a possible 5 real wildlife encounters in the one day! Tonight you are in a dorm bed style accommodation with limited shower and toilets. No Mobile phone reception. Global Gossip internet available. (BLD)
