Kangaroo Island is nature’s playground, where sea lions, fur seals and penguins parade the beaches and around a third of the island is national or conservation park, earning it the nickname, the ‘zoo without fences’. The island’s scenery is outstanding and unique; from the natural sculptures of
the Remarkable Rocks to the giant sand dune known as Little Sahara. It’s easy to get a taste for Kangaroo Island’s outstanding produce, try the honey, cheeses, wine, oysters and whiting.
