koala on Kangaroo Island

A pretty cool way to end a fabulous trip to Australia, a koala siting. The day began with an excursion to Remarkable Rocks. Following a gourmet lunch served in the bush, we headed towards Seal Beach, and on the way our driver spotted this koala right by the side of the road in a gum tree.

More pictures to be posted of a remarkable rock formation and some close ups of seals ... but I wanted to get this out to everyone ASAP. Truly a highlight of an incredible trip... thanks to Swain Destinations, Luxury Lodges of Australia, Southern Ocean Lodge, and our other hotel hosts. Tomorrow, back to Sydney for one night before my UA flight back to LAX-SFO.
