Kangaroo Island

One of the trips that is included with CalPoly's study abroad program is an overnight expedition to Kangaroo Island.  We all hopped on the ferry over the island and were greeted with some of the best scenery that South Australia has to offer. It was absolutely breathtaking! The beaches were filled with soft, white sand and the water was the perfect shade of aqua-blue.  Every beach was visited was empty and almost looked untouched.

Next stop on the trip: Sandboarding! I had never heard of it either.... With the huge amount of silky sand on the island, it feels only natural to grab a wooden board and slide down the slopes. The group had a great time racing, surfing, and tandem-boarding down this bad boy.

Warning: You will eat sand and find it somewhere on your body in the following days!

We also got to mingle around "The Remarkable Rocks" which were a group of large, oddly shaped rocks that were quite entertaining.  Everyone had a lot of fun climbing around and squeezing through the unique gaps that formed in-between them.

The last stop we made was to the wildlife park. We couldn't leave Kangaroo Island without seeing some  kangaroos, right?
