OVERVIEW

Kangaroo Island is Australia's third-largest island and is renowned for its forests, lagoons, white-sand beaches and sea cliffs pounded by thunderous swells. With a quarter of the island's area being protected, it's no wonder the native animals flourish. It has recently been through bush fires, however the sprouting of new life through the forest is now quite prolific. Some of the walks have been affected by the fire, but with the regrowth, the forest is alive and well.

The walks make their way into Flinders Chase and past the surreal sculptures that are Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. We walk over stunning stretches of beaches and striking clifftops.

We take care of every detail so you can relax and concentrate on what's important, the fully immersive walking experience of this stunning island. The meals are expertly prepared and include 2-course dinners. With two outstanding guides looking after you, you can pace yourself with easier or harder walking options along the way.

Auswalk has been guiding Kangaroo Island walking holidays for nearly 20 years, walking the island and parts of the trail that have subsequently morphed into the new Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail. Our Kangaroo Island walking holidays combine these new magnificent sections of track, with our favourite old bits. Given that the island is the third-largest in Australia, it has a lot to offer, but it can only be fully explored on foot.

With over a quarter of the island’s area protected within national parks, it’s a paradise for walkers and naturalists. Tall limestone cliffs dominate the coastline and deeply incised creeks flow out to sea. As well as stunning stretches of coastal landscapes are vast areas of wilderness and highly visible terrestrial and marine wildlife.

Highlights

  • Walk the Kangaroo Island Wilderness tour and its magnificent coastline
  • Explore 3 historic lighthouses
  • Fascinating limestone caves at the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Area
  • The iconic, wind-sculpted Remarkable Rocks
  • Spotting native wildlife in their natural habitat – from a colony of sea lions to kangaroos, penguins, koalas, goannas and even platypus

DAY 1
ADELAIDE TO KANGAROO ISLAND AND WALK IN DEEP CREEK NATIONAL PARK

Start at The Terrace Hotel Adelaide at 9.00 am. Travel via the scenic Onkaparinga area, McLaren Vale winery district and Fleurieu Peninsula to Cape Jervis.  Cruise by ferry over to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island.

We may have to vary the walking order of the days to fit in with the ferry time which unfortunately can vary and be outside of our control.  Our aim is to do a lovely walk in the Deep Creek National Park before hopping on the ferry. This afternoon we’ll travel to Kangaroo Island and to Penneshaw where we will spend the night.

Walking: Easy / 3-4 km / 1 hr

Meals: Walkers lunch and two-course a la carte dinner

Accommodation: Penneshaw in the Seafront in ensuites rooms

DAY 2
WALK AT CAPE WILLOUGHBY

This afternoon we’ll travel to the extreme eastern end of the island for a tour of the Cape Willoughby Lightstation. There are three historic lighthouses in all to explore on this walk, each with its own unique features and history. At Cape Willoughby, enjoy a walk through history and there may be an opportunity to climb to the top of the lighthouse. We also do another walk on the north coast at your accommodation.

Walking: Easy to Moderate / 7 to 12 km / 4 – 5 hrs

Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and two-course dinner

Accommodation: Private houses on a beautiful bay

DAY 3
CAPE BORDA LIGHTHOUSE AND RAVINE DES CASOARS

Today we’ll head for the very remote Cape Borda region. The morning hiking will take the path used by early lighthouse keepers to transport supplies from the boat landing to the light station itself. We then travel to the remote hike at the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Area where you can explore some fascinating limestone caves. We also explore Cape Borda Lighthouse, a special square lighthouse that’s perched high above Investigator Strait, and was built in 1858 to guide sailing ships arriving off the ‘roaring forties’ trade routes.

DAY 4
SNAKE LAGOON TO CAPE DU COUEDIC LIGHTHOUSE AND ADMIRALS ARCH

Today we will walk another section of the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail from Snake Lagoon all the way to Cape du Couedic and Admirals Arch. The walking is quite remote as we follow riverside tracks as they meander to the massive southern ocean. This is a moody place with a real sense of isolation. The easier option is a circuit walk in the Rocky River area where there should be lots of wildlife and flora. Those lucky enough might even spot an elusive platypus in the stream.

Today’s hike covers another section of the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail. We will walk from Remarkable Rocks to Sanderson Bay. The awesome sight of iconic Remarkable Rocks is our starting point. The wind-sculptured Remarkable Rocks proudly sit on top of a huge granite dome – a testament to 500 million years of nature’s erosion. We continue on past Cape Young Husband via the magnificent coastline. If there is time we will also walk from the Kelly Hill Caves to the stunning Hansons Bay.  This track meanders through a delightful bushland walk passing several lagoons teeming with birdlife.

Walking: Moderate / 11 -17km / 4 to 6 hrs

Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and two-course dinner

Accommodation: Private houses on a beautiful bay

DAY 6
SEAL BAY AND HANSONS BAY HIKE

In the afternoon we will travel to the mid-section of the island to Seal Bay where you’ll see Australian sea lions in their natural habitat. There are also populations of kangaroos, wallabies, possums, echidnas, goannas, penguins, koalas, Cape Barren geese and fur seals. The boardwalks and lookout offer great views over the coast.

Walking: Easy / 12 km / 5 hrs / easier option available

Meals: Breakfast, walkers lunch and two-course a la carte dinner at the hotel restaurant

Accommodation: Penneshaw in the Seafront in ensuites rooms

ACCOMMODATION & DINING

OVERVIEW

Comfort is always a priority, at the end of each day on these Kangaroo Island walking holidays a hot shower, glass of wine and an excellent two-course meal awaits. A comfortable night’s sleep ensures you’ll wake refreshed and primed, ready for the next day’s walking after breakfast.

We travel to the north side island to our superb private housing accommodation perched right above a beautiful bay. You’ll find the beach deserted pretty much all the time so an evening or morning stroll along the beach is definitely in order. The accommodation is excellent. This is not a hotel, but works more like a lodge, thus the rooms are a mixture of style and there is some variance to size. Bathrooms will have to be shared here but it’s a small price to pay for the amazing location. You won’t spend much time in them I assure you as we will keep you busy walking and enjoying the retreats beach and surroundings, not to mention the constant grazing. We will do our best to make sure everyone’s experience is a magic one, but some rooms might have a better view or be bigger, we can’t help that.

You will enjoy two-course dinners at the retreat, utilising fresh local produce. 

We are based at private accommodation for the four nights whilst we are on Kangaroo Island. This accommodation is nestled right on what is almost our own private beach. The Villas have gorgeous views over the ocean. The other two nights we are based in Peneshaw where we have a la carte dinners and ensuites.

Packed lunches and picnics complete the circle ensuring that your appetite is always satisfied. In fact, you can look forward to having lunch on a daily basis at incredible locations on the island. A walkers lunch may include a high protein type salad, a roll or a wrap, a muesli bar, cake or muffin and a piece of fruit. Each day is slightly different. Lunch is always augmented by Auswalk’s famous trail mix. Importantly, you start each day with a substantial breakfast. This is a great way to ready yourself for the upcoming walk.

Kangaroo Island has a burgeoning wine industry and is also well known for its marron and unique Ligurian honey.

Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except some wine on some nights and tea, coffee and juice with breakfast). Complex dietary requirements can not be catered for because of the remoteness of the location.

FITNESS GUIDE

It’s well worth investing some time and effort preparing for your walking holiday. The graph shows the average daily distance, elevation and terrain difficulty for your hike. The dotted line indicates the average across all our walks, which will give you a feel for how challenging your walk is compared to all – and the recommended type, and amount, of preparation needed.  Of course, you can adapt this according to your existing fitness levels and lifestyle.

The graph and the information below can be used in conjunction with the fitness guide to help you prepare for your walking adventure. Across all walks, average daily distance is 16.8km, average daily elevation is 448m, average terrain difficulty is 5/10.

ngraph

DISTANCE - ~AVERAGE

Distance training should be a consideration in your overall training program, so take every opportunity you can to walk. As you progress, incorporate longer walks into your training plan.

Schedule one or two long walks each week, gradually increasing the distance until you can comfortably cover 16km in a single day. Also include walks on consecutive days to help your body adapt to the demands of walking for multiple days in a row.

Ensure you can comfortably walk the average distance per day displayed in the graph, at least one month before you undertake your hike.

ELEVATION - BELOW AVERAGE

Elevation is not a major consideration in your overall training program. However, you should still incorporate some form of resistance training to increase your endurance.

TERRAIN

ROCKY TERRAIN

Whilst preparing for walking on rocky terrain, you must focus on the development of balance, strength, and agility.

Integrate targeted strength exercises, such as lunges, squats, and step-ups, to strengthen your leg muscles, with a particular emphasis on improving stability on uneven surfaces. Balancing exercises are essential. Undertake core strength activity, coupled with exercises such as planks and Russian twists to enhance balance. As you progress, include hikes on progressively rougher terrain if you can. Additionally, the appropriate footwear with good ankle support and tread for grip are essential. Stay mindful, watch your step, and use trekking poles for added stability.

FLAT TERRAIN

Whilst training for walking on flat and hard terrain, you should focus on building endurance and ensuring you can maintain a comfortable pace.

Start with regular walks on sidewalks, roads, or paved paths to get used to the surface. Maintain a proper posture and engage your core muscles to support your back, keeping a steady gait. Ensure that you have comfortable, supportive footwear with adequate cushioning. If endurance is important, consider incorporating low-impact cross-training activities like swimming or cycling into your routine.

 

GENERAL INFO

The tracks are dry, firm and well cared for on Kangaroo Island. Most of the walks are easy to moderate. The easy walks are great for first-timers; however, the experienced hikers won’t be disappointed as there is ample opportunity to walk challenging distances and explore some fascinating geological sites. The new Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail as you’d expect is extremely well cared for and makes for excellent walking.  Some of the walks have been affected by the fire, but with the regrowth, the forest is alive and well.

This trip operates with a pair of expert guides that lead the way, providing the flexibility to walk at a pace that suits you and offering a choice of easier or harder walking options along the way. We also have a third guide/cook helping with the meals at the private houses. Some dietary requirements can not be catered for because of the remoteness, please speak to the office.

Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many hotels in Adelaide however we pick up and drop off at the Terrace Hotel, 208 South Terrace, Adelaide. The tour starts at 9.00 at the Terrace Hotel. We arrive back in Adelaide at approximately 4.00 pm on the last day

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

We only depart at the best time and for Kangaroo Island this is autumn and spring. See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure suitable clothing.

INSURANCE

We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.

We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office.  See the FAQ section for more information.

INFORMATION PACK

For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

DIETRY REQUIREMENTS

This trip is staged in a remote area and in some instances, some of the food is catered by our guides. Therefore it is not possible to cater to complex dietary requirements or can we cater to some preferences. Please speak to the office if you have any queries.

    Kangaroo Island was a great trip. We were lucky to be able to do the walks we did due to the fires and the weather earlier in the year. The guides and their partners made it lots of fun.

    As members of a small group of friends, we engaged Auswalks to organise and provide support for a private guided walking holiday at Kangaroo Island during November 2015. Rather than customise our itinerary, we prefered to go with their standard seven day plan with the option to amend, as we deemed appropriate during the walk. The package included accommodation, meals and logistical support.

    Team leader Marie along with Lisa & Bill did a great job in pulling everything together and our walk went off without a hitch. Their attention to detail and our safety on the track was at the forefront, and the choice of completing the easier or more difficult options to suit the group was appreciated. This flexible approach allowed us to complete the walks at our own pace and enjoy the stunning scenery.

    The focus of our walk centred mainly on the western side of the island with its tall limestone cliffs, magnificent coastal landscapes, wilderness areas and abundant wildlife. The highlights included the wind sculptured Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch, historic lighthouses including the 1858 Cape Borda’s square lighthouse, unspoilt white sandy beaches and the flora & fauna. This included the brilliant wildflowers, fur seals, Australian sea-lions, kangaroos, wallabies, possums, echidnas, Heath goannas, little penguins, koalas, tiger snakes and Cape Barren geese. Unfortunately, no one spotted the shy platypus.

    Accommodation was in comfortable island resorts including two nights in the recently restored Cape du Couedic light keeper’s cottages. During our visit, we enjoyed the local produce, superb wines and the unique Ligurian honey.

    In hindsight, the initial walk of 18 klm in the Cape Gantheaume Wilderness Protection Area was a bit of a challenge first up and maybe a shorter walk on the northern side near Kingscote may have been a better option.

    At the end of our walk we asked ourselves – how good was that? .. and on reflection we reckon it was just about as good as it gets!!

    Our thanks go to Marie, Lisa & Bill for helping make our walking holiday such a memorable one. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure holiday and wouldn’t hesitate recommending Auswalks anyone interested in undertaking the Kangaroo Island walk.”

    Joining Auswalk for a walking holiday on Kangaroo Island meant all the hard work of knowing where to go, what to see and the best places to visit has been done by others and all I had to do was turn up and follow two very experienced and informed guides to see and walk to some of the best places on the Island. Kangaroo Island has a number of different walks providing opportunities for ocean views, stories of amazing past history and settlements and a wonderful variety of plants and wild flowers to make each days walking new and exciting. Much of the native wildlife on the Island was easy to see and the guides made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy these encounters. The accommodation and food was excellent and we able to taste much of the local produce while we were on the Island. Having two guides meant I had choices of walks each day and I could enjoy those areas which were of personal interest to me.

    We had a fabulous walk and tour on Kangaroo Island. We saw all the highlights and walked parts of the trail guided by the knowledgeable, friendly and flexible Marie, Katie and Paul. We enjoyed excellent accommodation and meals with a great group of like minded people. We could not fault the attention to detail.

    It was my first time visiting Kangaroo Island and it met all of my expectations for seeing and experiencing new things. With two guides the walking each day could fit in with what everyone wanted to do. I loved staying in the lighthouse cottages and getting to see the inside of a lighthouse. The wildlife and scenery was spectacular.The Auswalk guides looked after us all with great care and fun. Helen F

    I have just thoroughly enjoyed my time with a great group and although I am not a seasoned hiker, apart from walking around the golf course, I coped quite well with the distances. Would have liked more time viewing the wildlife because that was the reason for my trip but the guides were wonderful and I know they are on a tight schedule. Food and accom great. Lots of laughs.

    I have just had the pleasure of joining a group of 13 other travellers on this wonderful adventure. What a beautiful place to visit and walk over. The accommodation and food was very good and the guides were first class. The scenery is awe inspiring and who knows what animal might be seen along with the beautiful wild flowers. Bonnie C.

Accommodation & Dining

ACCOMMODATION & DINING

OVERVIEW

Comfort is always a priority, at the end of each day on these Kangaroo Island walking holidays a hot shower, glass of wine and an excellent two-course meal awaits. A comfortable night’s sleep ensures you’ll wake refreshed and primed, ready for the next day’s walking after breakfast.

We travel to the north side island to our superb private housing accommodation perched right above a beautiful bay. You’ll find the beach deserted pretty much all the time so an evening or morning stroll along the beach is definitely in order. The accommodation is excellent. This is not a hotel, but works more like a lodge, thus the rooms are a mixture of style and there is some variance to size. Bathrooms will have to be shared here but it’s a small price to pay for the amazing location. You won’t spend much time in them I assure you as we will keep you busy walking and enjoying the retreats beach and surroundings, not to mention the constant grazing. We will do our best to make sure everyone’s experience is a magic one, but some rooms might have a better view or be bigger, we can’t help that.

You will enjoy two-course dinners at the retreat, utilising fresh local produce. 

We are based at private accommodation for the four nights whilst we are on Kangaroo Island. This accommodation is nestled right on what is almost our own private beach. The Villas have gorgeous views over the ocean. The other two nights we are based in Peneshaw where we have a la carte dinners and ensuites.

Packed lunches and picnics complete the circle ensuring that your appetite is always satisfied. In fact, you can look forward to having lunch on a daily basis at incredible locations on the island. A walkers lunch may include a high protein type salad, a roll or a wrap, a muesli bar, cake or muffin and a piece of fruit. Each day is slightly different. Lunch is always augmented by Auswalk’s famous trail mix. Importantly, you start each day with a substantial breakfast. This is a great way to ready yourself for the upcoming walk.

Kangaroo Island has a burgeoning wine industry and is also well known for its marron and unique Ligurian honey.

Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except some wine on some nights and tea, coffee and juice with breakfast). Complex dietary requirements can not be catered for because of the remoteness of the location.

Fitness Guide

FITNESS GUIDE

It’s well worth investing some time and effort preparing for your walking holiday. The graph shows the average daily distance, elevation and terrain difficulty for your hike. The dotted line indicates the average across all our walks, which will give you a feel for how challenging your walk is compared to all – and the recommended type, and amount, of preparation needed.  Of course, you can adapt this according to your existing fitness levels and lifestyle.

The graph and the information below can be used in conjunction with the fitness guide to help you prepare for your walking adventure. Across all walks, average daily distance is 16.8km, average daily elevation is 448m, average terrain difficulty is 5/10.

ngraph

DISTANCE - ~AVERAGE

Distance training should be a consideration in your overall training program, so take every opportunity you can to walk. As you progress, incorporate longer walks into your training plan.

Schedule one or two long walks each week, gradually increasing the distance until you can comfortably cover 16km in a single day. Also include walks on consecutive days to help your body adapt to the demands of walking for multiple days in a row.

Ensure you can comfortably walk the average distance per day displayed in the graph, at least one month before you undertake your hike.

ELEVATION - BELOW AVERAGE

Elevation is not a major consideration in your overall training program. However, you should still incorporate some form of resistance training to increase your endurance.

TERRAIN

ROCKY TERRAIN

Whilst preparing for walking on rocky terrain, you must focus on the development of balance, strength, and agility.

Integrate targeted strength exercises, such as lunges, squats, and step-ups, to strengthen your leg muscles, with a particular emphasis on improving stability on uneven surfaces. Balancing exercises are essential. Undertake core strength activity, coupled with exercises such as planks and Russian twists to enhance balance. As you progress, include hikes on progressively rougher terrain if you can. Additionally, the appropriate footwear with good ankle support and tread for grip are essential. Stay mindful, watch your step, and use trekking poles for added stability.

FLAT TERRAIN

Whilst training for walking on flat and hard terrain, you should focus on building endurance and ensuring you can maintain a comfortable pace.

Start with regular walks on sidewalks, roads, or paved paths to get used to the surface. Maintain a proper posture and engage your core muscles to support your back, keeping a steady gait. Ensure that you have comfortable, supportive footwear with adequate cushioning. If endurance is important, consider incorporating low-impact cross-training activities like swimming or cycling into your routine.

 

General Info

GENERAL INFO

The tracks are dry, firm and well cared for on Kangaroo Island. Most of the walks are easy to moderate. The easy walks are great for first-timers; however, the experienced hikers won’t be disappointed as there is ample opportunity to walk challenging distances and explore some fascinating geological sites. The new Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail as you’d expect is extremely well cared for and makes for excellent walking.  Some of the walks have been affected by the fire, but with the regrowth, the forest is alive and well.

This trip operates with a pair of expert guides that lead the way, providing the flexibility to walk at a pace that suits you and offering a choice of easier or harder walking options along the way. We also have a third guide/cook helping with the meals at the private houses. Some dietary requirements can not be catered for because of the remoteness, please speak to the office.

Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many hotels in Adelaide however we pick up and drop off at the Terrace Hotel, 208 South Terrace, Adelaide. The tour starts at 9.00 at the Terrace Hotel. We arrive back in Adelaide at approximately 4.00 pm on the last day

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

We only depart at the best time and for Kangaroo Island this is autumn and spring. See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure suitable clothing.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.

You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

DIETRY REQUIREMENTS

    Kangaroo Island was a great trip. We were lucky to be able to do the walks we did due to the fires and the weather earlier in the year. The guides and their partners made it lots of fun.

    As members of a small group of friends, we engaged Auswalks to organise and provide support for a private guided walking holiday at Kangaroo Island during November 2015. Rather than customise our itinerary, we prefered to go with their standard seven day plan with the option to amend, as we deemed appropriate during the walk. The package included accommodation, meals and logistical support.

    Team leader Marie along with Lisa & Bill did a great job in pulling everything together and our walk went off without a hitch. Their attention to detail and our safety on the track was at the forefront, and the choice of completing the easier or more difficult options to suit the group was appreciated. This flexible approach allowed us to complete the walks at our own pace and enjoy the stunning scenery.

    The focus of our walk centred mainly on the western side of the island with its tall limestone cliffs, magnificent coastal landscapes, wilderness areas and abundant wildlife. The highlights included the wind sculptured Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch, historic lighthouses including the 1858 Cape Borda’s square lighthouse, unspoilt white sandy beaches and the flora & fauna. This included the brilliant wildflowers, fur seals, Australian sea-lions, kangaroos, wallabies, possums, echidnas, Heath goannas, little penguins, koalas, tiger snakes and Cape Barren geese. Unfortunately, no one spotted the shy platypus.

    Accommodation was in comfortable island resorts including two nights in the recently restored Cape du Couedic light keeper’s cottages. During our visit, we enjoyed the local produce, superb wines and the unique Ligurian honey.

    In hindsight, the initial walk of 18 klm in the Cape Gantheaume Wilderness Protection Area was a bit of a challenge first up and maybe a shorter walk on the northern side near Kingscote may have been a better option.

    At the end of our walk we asked ourselves – how good was that? .. and on reflection we reckon it was just about as good as it gets!!

    Our thanks go to Marie, Lisa & Bill for helping make our walking holiday such a memorable one. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure holiday and wouldn’t hesitate recommending Auswalks anyone interested in undertaking the Kangaroo Island walk.”

    Joining Auswalk for a walking holiday on Kangaroo Island meant all the hard work of knowing where to go, what to see and the best places to visit has been done by others and all I had to do was turn up and follow two very experienced and informed guides to see and walk to some of the best places on the Island. Kangaroo Island has a number of different walks providing opportunities for ocean views, stories of amazing past history and settlements and a wonderful variety of plants and wild flowers to make each days walking new and exciting. Much of the native wildlife on the Island was easy to see and the guides made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy these encounters. The accommodation and food was excellent and we able to taste much of the local produce while we were on the Island. Having two guides meant I had choices of walks each day and I could enjoy those areas which were of personal interest to me.

    We had a fabulous walk and tour on Kangaroo Island. We saw all the highlights and walked parts of the trail guided by the knowledgeable, friendly and flexible Marie, Katie and Paul. We enjoyed excellent accommodation and meals with a great group of like minded people. We could not fault the attention to detail.

    It was my first time visiting Kangaroo Island and it met all of my expectations for seeing and experiencing new things. With two guides the walking each day could fit in with what everyone wanted to do. I loved staying in the lighthouse cottages and getting to see the inside of a lighthouse. The wildlife and scenery was spectacular.The Auswalk guides looked after us all with great care and fun. Helen F

    I have just thoroughly enjoyed my time with a great group and although I am not a seasoned hiker, apart from walking around the golf course, I coped quite well with the distances. Would have liked more time viewing the wildlife because that was the reason for my trip but the guides were wonderful and I know they are on a tight schedule. Food and accom great. Lots of laughs. Cheers Terrie

    I have just had the pleasure of joining a group of 13 other travellers on this wonderful adventure. What a beautiful place to visit and walk over. The accommodation and food was very good and the guides were first class. The scenery is awe inspiring and who knows what animal might be seen along with the beautiful wild flowers. Bonnie C.
