Kangaroo Island
is a genuinely unique region
as more than one third of the entire island is
dedicated to national and wildlife parks.
The area is totally protected from the mainland
and, in many areas, the impact of human activity
has been minimal. The pure air and clean water
makes Kangaroo Island one of the last unspoilt
regions of the world and visitors embrace the
natural beauty and pristine environment.
For intrepid sightseers, there is an abundance
of
native wildlife and vegetation. Visitors can expect
to see playful fur seals, Australian sea lions,
penguins, koalas, wallabies, goannas, up to
251 types of bird and, of course the island's
namesake kangaroos.
The pristine environment of Kangaroo
Island
supports many successful primary industries.
Indulge yourself with gourmet goodies such as
creams and cheeses, corn-fed chicken, marron
and fresh seafood or sample some delicious
honey from the rare and matchless Ligurian bee.
A wide range of leisure activities
is available on
the island. They include ocean sailing on yacht
charters, fishing expeditions, diving, horse-riding
and bush-walking. Visitors can also take guided
nature tours with experts or dangle a line from
the jetty.
