Kangaroo Island Three Day Adventure
Recently we visited Kangaroo Island and it was great to see the abundance of wildlife as well as how well the island has regenerated from previous bush fires. There are options for all budgets and travel styles when visiting Kangaroo Island including self drive, fully escorted and small group touring. Most of the photo’s on this page were done using iPhones on the trip. Just prior to visiting:

These high-quality spirits are additive and preservative free and where possible are made using native Australian botanicals and locally grown or sourced ingredients. The range now include eight liqueurs, four Vodkas and two premium Gins. All their products are handmade in small batches using hand crafted copper pot stills.

Kangaroo Island is totally unspoilt with white beaches, stunning coastlines and home to an abundance of wildlife. If you’re looking for four-star accommodation in an idyllic setting, this is surely theplace, located on the Esplanade just 500 metres from the Sealink Ferry Terminal.

Exceptional Kangaroo Island offer all-inclusive luxury day and extended tours of Kangaroo Island, travelling in customised four-wheel drive vehicles with a focus on
good food, wine and wildlife in the wild. Island life – where things take time, drivers’ wave as they go by – or even stop for a chat. Have a cuppa with some home-made treats before taking a walk down a country track through tall Eucalyptus trees where koalas snooze overhead or wake
briefly for a feed. Listen for the sounds of the bush – brightly coloured honeyeaters and brilliant parrots, cicadas or perhaps just the sound of silence. Travel through the Island’s most productive country to the north coast. Walk through the bush with your guide – through strangely shaped trees learning what makes that noise, whose tracks are those, and who left THAT little pile there? Look for small wallabies almost extinct on the mainland, a kangaroo found only on Kangaroo Island and a variety of other birds, plants and animals. Break for lunch at a private bush camp and enjoy a delicious meal featuring King George whiting (local sea fish), fresh salads and fine South Australian wines. At Seal Bay Conservation Park take a private tour with your guide among Australian sea-lions on a beautiful sandy beach – an experience similar to that of the Galapagos. Watch pups nursing or playing in the surf, see old bulls bearing the scars of territorial disputes and learn about their unique breeding biology.
At the completion of the days touring, you will be dropped off at your accommodation. Arrive at the Aurora Ozone Hotel and check in. Please ask at check in for your
luggage that was transferred on your behalf to the accommodation. You will have
the chance to freshen up before this evening’s dinner.

Remarkable Rocks – Perched above the sea in Flinders Chase National Park, the impressive Remarkable Rocks form what appear to be a cluster of precariously
balanced granite boulders. This stunning work of nature has been shaped by the erosive forces of wind, sea spray and rain over some 500 million years. The golden orange lichen covering some of the rocks offers visitors wonderful photo opportunities at different times of the day. Interpretation signs share the story of how these intriguing rocks were formed. Admirals Arch – is a natural rock arch created by amazing forces of nature It’s
situated within Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island. You can take an easy walk on a boardwalk around the cliff face. This leads you to a viewing platform overlooking the arch. The arch is sculpted by weathering and erosion from the sea
