Hopping at Kangaroo Island
Sea lions at the Seal Bay Conservation Park, Admirals Arch, Remarkable Rocks, and yes, the odd kangaroo are just some of the sights you will find on Kangaroo Island.
The island is a nature based destination – plenty of wild life, beaches and bush walks to keep young and old nature lovers happy.
The island is a short roll-on roll-off ferry ride off South Australia’s coast.
The lighthouse pictured in the slideshow is situated at Cape du Couedic, Flinders Chase National Park. The Cape was named by French explorer Nicholas Baudin,and is the most south westerly point of the Kangaroo Island coast..
We stayed at an off-grid eco retreat on Cape Cassini. Our house was perched on top of the cliffs looking out to the sea.
The local wild life visited us regularly at dusk looking for a hand-out. And mine host visited us regularly each morning to let us know how much power we had used.
