Drying Kelp

Drying Kelp

One of the industries on King Island is harvesting Kelp, yes the seaweed! It grows prolifically in the waters around the island and the islanders collect it from the waters and hang it to dry before it is processed and then added to things like ice cream, face lotions and creams and pills – it is a natural thickening agent. Very hard work when the kelp is wet it is very heavy, the lengths can be up to 3 metres.

This is our view toward the east from the King Island Wilderness Retreat where we are staying on King Island. It is an extra-ordinary island with so much diversity for such a small place 60km long and 30km wide, with 196km of coast line. Rugged cliffs and sandy beaches and many species of plants, some not found not anywhere else.

Landing on King Island the first thing I saw were the Paperbark trees. I fell in love with their tall white spindley trunks with the leaves clumped right up the top.

Lobster for Dinner

Lobster for Dinner

I arrived on King Island yesterday with a group of photographers for an idyllic week of photography and food. King Island lies in the Bass Strait between mainland Australia (Victoria) and Tasmania. It is renown for it’s soft cheeses, beef and kelp industries. It is isolated and the 1400 islanders pride themselves on their self-sufficiency and produce much of their own food. The island being in such a storm ridden place has more than 70 ship wrecks with over 400 people lost in the worst martime disaster in Australian history back in the 1880’s.
