Over to SA/ Prejezd do Jizni Australie

From Grampians we headed back to the coast, to Portland, where we tried to get a new camera but haven’t found anything we liked. After a night there we went to have a look at a seal colony nearby (I love seals!). It is meant to be a colony of 600 seals, well I counted about a dozen, included one that really wasn’t moving. But it was nice to watch the small ones play in the water and the walk there was very nice along supposedly Victoria’s highest sea cliffs. We tried to take a photo of the seals with our video camera but for some reason it didn’t come out. In fact this is the only photo the camera actually recorded:

Another cool thing they have in Portland are white kangaroos. They are bred in SA’s Bordertown and are actually totally white. Not albinos, real white kangaroos. There are few pic’s under the Czech text.

From Portland we headed to SA and in the afternoon crossed the border and were in another state. Yay! First stop was Mt Gambier. Again we tried to buy a camera and again we didn’t like anything that was on offer. The night we spent in Tantanoola, which has pub that became the final resting place to the Tantanoola tiger. He is stuffed and overlooking the bar now.

 

Z Grampians jsme zamirili zpet na pobrezi, do Portlandu, kde jsme se snazili koupit novej fotak, ale zadnej se nam nezdal. Dalsi den jsme se jeli podivat na kolonii tulenu. Udajne tam zije na 600 tulenu, ja jsem napocitala asi tucet vcetne jednoho, kterej se vubec nehejbal. Ale je hezky pozorovat ty mlady, jak si hrajou ve vode a ten trek tam byl taky moc fajn. Snazili jsme se neco vyfotit nasi videokamerou ale bohuzel nic se nenahralo. Jedina fotka, ktera vysla, je tahle:

Dasli super vec, co maji v Portlandu, jsou bili klokani. Chovaji je v Jizni Asutralii a jsou opravdu bili, ne albini, opravdu bili klokani. Dole je par fotek, ktery nastesti vysli na kamere.

Odpoledne jsme prekrocili hranici mezi Viktorii a Jizni Australii. Hura! Opet jsme se snazili koupit fotak a opet se nam nic nezdalo. Na noc jsme zastavili v Tantanoole, coz byl kdysi domov tantonoolskeho tygra. Nebo vlastne jeste je – dnes je tygr vycpany a vystaveny v mistni hospode.
