THE SEALINK KANGAROO ISLAND SEAFOOD FEAST-IVAL

27th April – 2 May 2012

There’s lots to be excited about this autumn, with the fine producers and chefs on Kangaroo Island coming together with an itinerary of nine great dining events around the island, with a common theme: fabulous, singing-fresh seafood!

In a series of events at idyllic seaside settings around the island, feasters can choose between fine dining tasting menus, campfire cooking and seafood barbeques by the sea. Other dining events include master class demonstrations and exclusive dinners with celebrity chefs such as Pete Evans from My Kitchen Rules and Simon Bryant from The Cook and The Chef.

Some summertime rain on Lord Howe has offered up some incredible images. The first three were taken this morning after an incredible 180mm of rain over the last 24 hours. The southern end of the island was flooded with all roads blocked. The up side was both Mt Gower and Mt Lidgbird were covered with waterfalls. Many of our guest are hiking up to the lower falls as I write this. The other photos show how quickly things change here- only the waterfalls remain

There are also two photos which show the coral spawn which fills the shallows
around the island today. The yearly mass spawning happened last night so there
is a decidedly fishy smell in the air today! The pink line you see in the
shallows along the shore is the coral spawn- billions of tiny pink eggs!
