The little holiday on Kangaroo Island is now over. I wasn't able to access the internet whilst on the Island. The locations were too remote and I was only in the main towns--Kingscote and Penneshaw---for brief moments either to pick up supplies or to catch ferries.

So I had to wait until I returned to Adelaide in order to be able to re-enter a digital world and be able to post. I guess being outside the digital world is a postmodern meaning of wilderness.

The Island is not all wilderness as most of the centre is farming. The wilderness is the national parks with the wild places along the coasts where land and sea meet. The Island was very dry, and the talk was of rain---it was on the way.
Will the future of agriculture on the Island be the museum tourist agriculture of many OCED countries?

During my first trip to South Australia about 10 years ago, we went to Kangaroo Island for the week. It was lovely. I really liked the seals, the slower pace of life and Remarkable Rocks. I also saw my first kangaroo road kill, of which there were quite a few. We plan to take our kids there this year.
