Merimbula - Eden

Merimbula - Eden - Day 1

My sister in Law, Tracy, & I spent 5 days in Merimbula during the first week of January 2012.  We flew from Melbourne Airport on REX to Merimula.  I have never been to Merimbula before, but a lot of my high school friends use the holiday there back in the late 80's, so I was keen to pay a visit to Merimbula, Eden & the surrounds to see what it's all about. 

We based ourselves in Merimbula and hired a car to visit the surrounding towns.  Our first stop, Eden.  A quick visit to the Eden Killer Whale Museum to see Old Tom before venturing down to Snug Cove @ the Port of Eden. There's something about Wharfs and Boats that I love.  Boy, was it windy down there and it was no surprise that none of the tourist boat trips were not running that day.

Old Tom

Feed Me!  I love bottoms.

Raptor Domain

New Years on Kangaroo Island - Day 3
The highlight of Kangaroo Island would have to be Raptor Domain.  The Birds of Prey and Rehabilitation Centre was opened by Dick Smith on 25th September 2010.  The Birds of Prey show was absolutely fantastic.  Both David & I got the opportunity to glove up and hold different birds.  We met Casper the Barn Owl, Wally the Tawny Frog Mouth, Ellie the Barking Owl, Chipps the Kestrel, Jedda the majestic Wedge Tailed Eagle and Hobbit the Hoby Falcon.  Anyone visiting KI must go and see the Birds of Prey show.

Thanks for visiting,

Sue.
