KI-Day trip

What's the first thing Trish does when we arrive at the KI Backpackers? Yep...you got it....she starts talking to 2 lads and gets an invite to enjoy a day trip with them checking some parts of the island especially the NE. First stop Prospect Hill, then onto American River, Kingscote, Emu Beach and Stokes Bay. Of course, after a long day trip what better way to finish with a couple of beers for the lads and a wine for Trish. Dinner?... fish & chips @Fish of Penneshaw for the best fish and chips in outback SA. 
View#1
Climbed 1000 steps to get to the top of the sand dune look out....ok I lied...Trish climbed to the top to get a great view of KI, I just hitched a ride.
View #2
Just magnificent!
As the website says: 

Prospect Hill

Location: Hog Bay Road. 
Opening Hours: Open access.  

Feeling energetic? Prospect Hill is the highest point in the area, and well worth a climb. First climbed by Captain Matthew Flinders, the top of the hill was used by the famous explorer to survey the Island. There are 512 steps leading to a rewarding view over American River, Pelican Lagoon, the Southern Ocean and Pennington Bay. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Lofty in the Adelaide Hills.
Waiting for our fish and chippies @ Fish of Penneshaw!
