  Emu
Emu feathers are light in colour except for the dark tips: solar radiation is absorbed by the feather tips, while the loose-packed inner plumage insulates the skin: in combination, the dark and light areas of the plumage deflect or absorb all but 2% of the sun's radiant heat.
Emus have a high bodyfat content, and Emu oil is used for many purposes, particularly treatment of muscle aches and sprains.
Emus are particularly suitable for degraded, overgrazed properties: unlike cattle and (especially) sheep, they do not cause soil compaction or destroy grass roots, and Emu dung gradually helps native vegetation recover.

 The Ultimate Emu Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
Despite the determined attention of the male, emu eggs are heavily predated, particularly by goannas, but it is estimated that four out of five chicks that hatch successfully survive to adulthood.
Emus are also powerful swimmers capable of crossing any river—something they need to do from time to time as part of their wandering.
Emus, particularly those in semi-open captivity, who have little fear of humans, are also prone to pecking at hairy human heads and wooly clothing, which can be distressing for small children and tourists.

 KANGAROO ISLAND SHIPWRECKS
Kangaroo Island was discovered by Matthew Flinders in 1802, during his survey in the 'Investigator'.
Built at Kangaroo Island, 1855, as a cutter of 36 tons; considerably enlarged in 1863 to a schooner of lbd 80.5 x 15.9 x 7.2 ft. Ashore, wrecked, on a reef north of Cape Elizabeth, SA, 10 February 1873.
When off Kangaroo Island she apparently struck an unidentified object, and began to settle in the bow as she headed back towards Port Adelaide for repairs; it soon became obvious she would not reach port so was beached a short distance to the west of Cape Torrens, north-west end of Kangaroo Island, 20 March 1935.
