Kangaroo
Island is Australia's third largest island being 4500 square kilometres,
with much of Kangaroo Island classified as national and conservation parks,
the largest being the Flinders Chase National Park.
The spectacular coastline is made up of towering cliffs, beautiful sandy
beaches, battered rocks and quiet secluded inlets. There are excellent
diverse bush walking and fishing opportunities on Kangaroo Island.
Kangaroo Island incorporates typical farmland, remote national parks,
bleak rocky cliffs, snug bays and sandy un spoilt beaches.
Kingscote
is the largest town on the island situated on Nepean Bay. Here you can
watch pelican feeding at 5pm in the afternoon at the jetty, and see fairy
penguins come ashore at night.
At the other end of the island about 90 minutes by vehicle is the Flinders
Chase National Park, where you may see kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, platypus
and possums.
Seal Bay Conservation Park is a large sandy beach and dune area, where
wild Australian sea lions rest after a day out at sea fishing. Here you
can go on a guided tour onto the beach and see the Sea Lions in their
natural beach habitat.
There
are many beaches to swim at on Kangaroo Island, secluded rock pools to
explore, deserted sandy beaches to walk along, limestone cliffs to clamber
up, mountains to climb, rivers to explore and bays to fish in.
Sailing, snorkeling and fishing charters are just a few ways to enjoy
the water.
There is a total of
18 conservation and national parks on Kangaroo Island, and entry
fees apply to some of the national parks.
Kangaroo
Island features mostly a mild temperate mild climate. The average summer
temperature is 25 deg C however, often cool southern sea breezes in the
evenings make it necessary for the use of some warmer clothes.
3 to 4 Days on Kangaroo
Island or more is highly recommended if you want to see a good sample of what
Kangaroo Island has on offer.
