| Point Labatt Conservation Reserve |
About half an hour south of Streaky Bay is a small reserve that extends out into the ocean. It's called Point Labatt and it's there to conserve the habitat of a colony of Australian Sea Lions. It's the only colony of the mainland and can be easily seen from a viewing platform. Apparently they cohabit with New Zealand Fur Seals and while we were there we saw about thirty animals loafing on the rocks and beach but I couldn't tell what I was looking at. Were they seals or sea lions? Were they juveniles or adults? Were they females or males?
