Mount Lofty and the Penguins

I may have inadvertently skimmed over Saturday, when we took our hire car out Eastwards and up Mount Lofty where there is a lookout which, well, looks out over the bay.

Also rather mysteriously there is what seems to be a lighthouse there, goodness only knows why. Eloise enjoyed playing with some other kids trying to mount its flanks.

We drove then down to a place called Victor Harbor. There is an island there called Granite Island where there is a colony of little penguins. They come back from swimming at nightfall and there are guided tours to watch them do their thing as dusk settles.

So Nicole, wanting to repeat the previous night's nocturnal wildlife antics, though it might be nice to do that, which we did.

The island is linked to the mainland by a causeway along which runs a horse-drawn tram. We thought it would be great to ride on that, but missed it by five minutes. So we had to walk instead.

The tour was fine and the penguins interesting, if little. It was dark. And cold. They squawked. And did what penguins do.
