5 Reasons To Visit Kangaroo Island in Autumn

Visit this amazing part of South Australia

There’s many reasons to visit this amazing part of South Australia, but here’s our top 5 reasons to visit Kangaroo Island.

What is practically a zoo without fences, Kangaroo Island (known by the locals as ‘RI – or Roo Island’) is a must see destination whilst travelling in Australia.

Located South of the country, the island is made up of National and Conservation parks which set out to protect the wildlife including sea lions, koalas and, of course, kangaroos. Across its 155km length are large cliffs, long beaches and dense bushland. As well as taking in the scenery, Kangaroo Island also has a long history which can be explored through many museums that are scattered around the island.

1. The History

The island has a history dating back as far as the 1800’s. One open access attraction is the site of the first official settlement in southern Australia. Walk down the many paths and take a journey through history as well as enjoying the native birdlife such as black swans and Australian pelicans.

2. Kangaroos Outnumber People on the Island

These furry locals have a population of roughly 30,000 compared to the 4,400 people living on the island! Breeding all year round, you’re likely to see the lovely sight of a baby ‘roo in its mother’s pouch.

3. The Food

Due to the pristine condition of the island, the food is of amazing quality. The local food industry thrives off organic produce such as eggs and cheese as well as homemade jams, sauces and marinades.

4. The Views

The island is bordered by beautiful beaches, tall cliffs and stunning granite formations. You can quietly see native Australian wildlife as they should be, in their natural habitats.

5. High Quality Accommodation

Enjoy some peace and quiet in the accommodation that the island hosts. With limited numbers of rooms in each hotel and lodges, visitors get to embrace the tranquility of the island and enjoy their own private spots.
