AUSTRALIA - South Australia -
Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island was separated from the mainland around 10,000 years ago. In 1836 Kingscote became the first settlement in South Australia and significant parts of the island were opened up for farming. The island is 145km wide (east to west) and around 50km from top to bottom at its widest. The north of the island has more protected seas, with the south generally having larger waves, higher cliffs and stronger currents. There are still some white sandy beaches and inlets on the south. The cliffs and bays can be spectacular, and there are interesting geological formations along the south, the most popular to visit being Admirals Arch and the Remarkable Rocks. KI has abundant wildlife and large sections of untouched forest. Many species for which Australia is famous for can be found here like kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and penguins. There are plenty of opportunities to see these animals close up in their natural habitat.
