Day 135 - Laura (CJ Dennis grew up here). Sitting in the pub at Poochera (see left) and a phone call came unexpected, it was Gus checking up on me. I promised him a photo of the pub, so there it is Gus. The Poochera Pub has a caravan park, which made it especially attractive to me. It is your typical real outback pub, no draught beer, just cans or stubbies. If you live in Poochera and need to go shopping, for anything, then they just pop down to Streaky Bay about 60+ kilometres away.

I have been frequenting a lot of National Parks in South Australia, I have a 2 month National Park permit ($70) which allows me to camp at most national parks for free. I have made good use of it and have thus seen a lot of the SA wildlife, so this post is about wildlife and views within National Parks.

Coffin Bay from a hill just above the campsite I was staying at.
Whats that Skip, the boy fell over the cliff Skip. I don't think its Skippy but we certainly surprised one another when we unexpectedly met.
We used call these 'Blue Tongue Lizards' when I was a kid, but the correct name is 'Stumpy Tail Lizard'.
Another Emu, yes I know we have had emus before but I can't help myself. Emus are amazing animals, if you can attract their attention by waving your hat or something similar, they will come over and investigate. If you sit still and don't make any noise they will come right up to you, in this case there were half a dozen of them, that came to me and wandered through my campsite. This was the best picture I took, it was the furthest one the others were too close to get decent photos.
A Lace Monitor or in everyday aussie speak a Goanna. He was hiding beside the path to the dunny when I disturbed him, luckily he climbed the tree and not me. He was about 2 metres in length.
This isn't a Kangaroo, its a Wallaby of some sort. From the number of rocks in the background you would reckon it was a Rock Wallaby, just joking, it is in fact a Common Wallaroo.
A photo I took whilst walking on a trail in Mount Remarkable National Park.
Australian Seals at a Seal colony I visited. I don't know what the exact minmum number of Seals are required to make up a colony, but my guess is that this particular colony was a seal short of a colony, if you know what I mean. This was the best I could do.
