Hop Over To Kangaroo Island This Summer

Off the coast of South Australia lies Kangaroo Island. Home to an abundance of exotic species and the location of some stunning coves and beaches, Kangaroo Island is an incredible destination full of natural wonders and should be firmly on the bucket list for keen travellers looking to enjoy the upcoming summer months.

The landmass is home to hundreds of species of exotic wildlife and places high priority on safeguarding the native habitat – with successful results. Discover the shores of Seal Bay – the third largest sea lion colony in Australia – and watch the striking creatures basking in the summer sun. As breeding peaks in the height of the summer months, you can witness ferocious territorial battles from the safety of the boardwalk.

With thriving families of kangaroos, echidnas and koalas – the island is truly a haven for animal lovers. The spring and summer months are also the ultimate time to watch the flora and fauna burst into life – with fifty species of plant unique to the island.

Kangaroo Island is also home to Flinders Chase National Park, a protected area for some impressive geological rock formations that have formed over thousands of years. Admirals Arch is a natural phenomenon where sharp stalactites hang from the cave ceiling. During the summer months, this dwelling is also a favourite spot for the newly born seal pups to come and play on the shore. The Remarkable Rocks are another hot spot for explorers and certainly live up to their name. These unusually shaped granite boulders are an icon on the island and have formed an otherworldly look after approximately 500 million years of exposure to the rough elements of wind, rain and sea spray.
