Winter Holiday to Robe

Feeding the Seagulls

Ken and Linda have a soft spot for wildlife. This silver gull at Meningie had somehow lost both feet, and loved Jatz biscuits. Click the image to help feed the gulls.


Mount Schank: 

Climb with us to the top of Mt Schank (156m). The steep walk to the rim of this extinct volcano provides panoramic views and an insight into fascinating volcanic history.

  • Panoramic views from Beacon Hill Lookout

  • Exploring the coastal dunes Little Dip Conservation Park
