Kangaroo IslandKangaroo Island is a natural wonder of unmatched beauty and pristine wilderness, with soaring cliffs, dense bushland, towering sand dunes, wetlands and massive arcs of bone white beach.

Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest island after Tasmania and Melville Island, so there is a lot more to see than most visitors might expect. The first thing you are likely to notice when you arrive is that there are so many animals around! A sanctuary for wildlife with over 260 bird species, tammar wallabies, short-beaked echidnas and plenty of kangaroos and koalas, Kangaroo Island is virtually a zoo without fences.

The surrounding Southern Ocean is teaming with fish, sea lions and little penguin colonies, with southern right whales and calves migrating past the coast in the cooler months.

Historically, Kangaroo Island became Australia’s first free settlement, with sealers, escaped convicts and runaway sailors calling the island home. To learn about Kangaroo Island’s cultural history and be entertained with some interesting stories, why not take the self guided audio tour ‘Island Intrigue’. The CD pack is available for purchase from the Kangaroo Island Gateway Visitor

Information Centre at Penneshaw or you can download it by visiting www.islandintrigue.com.au.

Just because the island is isolated, doesn’t mean you will be without life’s luxuries. With its fertile lands and rich waters, Kangaroo Island produces some of Australia’s finest gourmet foods. Let your tastebuds guide your travels and you will come across the likes of freshly caught King George whiting, sheep’s cheese, marron, the unique Ligurian Bee variety of honey and an exciting range of varietal wines.

GETTING AROUNDThere is no public transport on Kangaroo Island, nor is there a taxi service so make sure you arrange car hire if required. The main roads from Penneshaw to Kingscote, and a ring route between Kingscote and Flinders Chase National Park, are sealed. However, many roads in the eastern, western and northern sides of the Island are not sealed, but with careful driving they are quite safe. Some unsealed roads are closed in wet weather so it pays to check with the Kangaroo Island Gateway Visitor Information Centre at Penneshaw before driving in more remote areas. Take care on all roads to avoid colliding with wildlife.
