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.
