A
call came for a request to take some photos for a client on Kangaroo Island, a photographer’s paradise which lies off the mainland of South Australia, southwest of Adelaide. With this opportunity, I decided very quickly to stay a bit longer on the Island and booked my accommodation at Penneshaw Beach Stay Motel at Penneshaw. The port where you arrive after a 45 min trip on the ferry from Cape Jervis on the mainland. I felt very welcomed by the owners, Michael and Yannis, who bought the Motel in 2019, near Hog Bay Beach within walking distance to shops, eateries, and the Penneshaw Hotel in this friendly town. With some time up my sleeve that Monday afternoon in October, I went on a safari boat trip. It was a rewarding trip, viewing the stunning coastline from the sea and seeing the brown fur sea lions sunbathing, playing in the water, and Dolphins swimming alongside the boat, and as the guide said, there is always one in the pod that will be cheeky. The picture below tells the story; it made sure being photographed.
