Finger Wave, Kangaroo Island.

We had our final day at Kangaroo Island yesterday and I don't want to forget to write about the KI Finger Wave! This wave, done by lifting the right hand pointer finger from the steering wheel, is done by every driver to every driver- kind of like the Jeep Wrangler wave at home, but indiscriminating. I think it is because you pass so few cars on this island that every car is in the club! We felt like locals, mate!

After many a finger wave, we explored Flinders Chase National Park on the west end. We went to a stone formation called The Arches and I think this is the first time I have truly seen the ocean "boil". It was the roughest, angriest ocean I have ever seen. There was a colony of New Zealand Seals speckled all over the rocks as they got battered by the crashing waves and forceful winds. I can't imagine why they liked that spot, but they seemed happy! We went from there to The Remarkable Rocks. This formation, as seen in the movie December Boys, was wild with the boulders taking on all sorts of crazy shapes.

As we packed up the hotel, Jim said goodbye to one of his many tropical offices and tried to pick up a piece of dust that turned out to be a scorpion!

Finally, we bought the Men At Work Greatest Hits album. Yup. That just happened.
