Kangaroo Island, Australia

​I went to Kangaroo Island. 
Off Australia's south coast. 
Took the ferry from Cape Jervis. 
Drove my car onboard.
Cliffs and beaches. 
Eucalyptus and she-oaks. 
Koalas dozing in trees. 
Seals basking on rocks.
Kangaroos, of course. Mobs of them. 
Bounding across fields. Silhouettes at dusk. 
Emus too. Big birds. Flightless.
Stayed in a cabin. Rustic. Quiet. 
Hiked the trails. Rugged beauty. Unspoiled.
Kangaroo Island. Raw nature. Solitude. 
I breathed it in. Let the wildness restore me. 
Until the ferry took me back.
