2/21 – Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island, Australia

Penneshaw is a small picturesque country town on Kangaroo Island with a population of about 1500 people, and is on the northwest coast of the Dudley Peninsula overlooking Backstairs Passage, with the mainland of South Australia a mere 9 miles (6 km) away. Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest island after Tasmania and Melville.¹

We wandered around the little town and collected our jug of sand & shells here. Then we hopped on a tour bus to Kingscorte, about 60 km away. There we had one of the best lunches we have had on this trip. It was a little Italian restaurant called Bella where the locals appeared to hang out. We were so glad we tried it! Rodney said it was the best lasagna he has ever eaten!
