The scenary was spectacular, and the wildlife just adorable and quite unphased by the intrusion we tourists make to the Island. Roos and Wallabys would allow you within 4-5 feet of them, and one evening we even had possoms join us for dinner. No matter how hard we tried to scare them off they were intrigued enough (and hungry, I guess) to be persistent and keep coming.
As I said in an earlier post it is expensive to get there, but it is well worth it! Especially to visit the Andermel Marron Cafe. They serve delicious marron (crayfish) and also have a small winery with some super wines. I couldn't resist but purchase 6 bottles for the princly sum of $55 - bargin! (photo courtesy of Fabienne)
I won't ramble too much. I want a tale or two to tell when I return to the UK. Here are some additional photos of from the adventure:

Hi Lee,
Glad you had a great trip. Have you been taking lessons from the Roos on jumping or do you have springs on your feet? Good pic. The crayfish looked good, no roo steaks on the menu then?
Dan is back to normal now he has his wheels back (the replacement bike).
H has gone off to the Devon County Show today armed with a sword, the antique one he found when he was a young boy.(This is not to fend off any rebels, a specialist there asked to see it to date it and give the history of it). I hope he and it gets home in one piece!
I may be a bit premature but we may have found a fitted wardrobe overlooking the Exe Estuary. I will confirm in a later message.
Keep having fun and taking in the sights. All the best. Love Gill.
