Kangaroo Island

Beautiful Kangaroo Island is a microcosm of different landscapes and environments - stunning beaches, forests, desert dunes and farmland. It's the place to go, to see amazing native wildlife in the wild.

And it's only a stone's throw away from the coast of South Australia, making it your ideal island holiday destination.

When a panel of 522 experts ranked the world's islands by comparing their commitment to sustainable tourism and preserving the environment , Kangaroo Island came out on top. National Geographic Traveler magazine has applauded its natural attractions and sensitivity to the environment - why don't you travel there yourself?

In Kangaroo Island's pasture lands, local farmers produce wine, sheep's milk cheese, and the best Liguran honey you'll get this side of Italy.

On the west coast of Kangaroo Island, where the raging Southern Ocean smashes against impassive rocks, teams of ecologists keep an eye on rare species of seals. And in the east, people relax with a quiet drink and a great meal after a day of watersports, then duck out in time to see little penguins make their nightly pilgrimage to the shore.

That's the thing about Kangaroo Island - you have to see it all.
