Molins Down Under: Port Lincoln

We stayed three nights in Port Lincoln, and packed so much in I think it needs two blog posts. While in Port Lincoln we also went to visit the Glen Forrest Animal Reserve. It was further off the beaten track than we had anticipated, and it was a funny little set up when we finally got there, but what it did offer was hand-feeding the kangaroos (which we all loved) and petting the koalas at feeding time. It wasn’t quite the ‘cuddling the koala’ I had set my heart on before leaving Canada, but it was pretty close. The baby koala was particularly cute. We also enjoyed the other animals on offer (rabbits, guinea pigs, ostriches, emus, donkeys, ponys, sheep, cattle etc) and as it’s also a working farm we saw some sheep shearing as well. As the girls are animal obsessed it was a sure-fire hit.

Afterwards we drove into the Lincoln National Park on the tip of the peninsula. We ended up alone on a beautiful beach, collecting sea shells and swimming in the green water. Then it was into Port Lincoln for fish’n’chips on the foreshore. Not a bad way to put in a day!
