Kangaroo Island is located off the coast of southern Australia and is a 30 minute flight from Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. Affectionately referred to by the locals as KI, the island is renowned for its spectacular scenery and unique flora and fauna. The spectacular South Coast is buffeted by winds from the Southern Ocean that have produced incredible rock formations, whilst the calmer north coast has rolling hills, secluded bays with beautiful beaches nestled amongst the highest cliffs in South Australia. Even in the height of summer the beaches are usually deserted. As the third largest island off the coast of Australia, behind Tasmania and Melville Island, Kangaroo Island covers an area of 4,500 square kilometres.

Close to 50% is native vegetation with 30% of the island protected as natural wilderness; due to its isolation the island has suffered less than the mainland areas from the impact of European development. The rich and diverse variety of wildlife and flora can be found in abundance in their natural environment. Kangaroo Island is also blessed with a temperate 'Mediterranean' climate not unlike the climate of the French Riviera. The warm dry summers and cool mild winters make it a year round destination. Average daytime summer temperature is 25 degrees with a winter average of 15 degrees.

As there are so many fascinating places to visit over a wide area, a minimum stay of three days is highly recommended. The Island is an area of outstanding natural beauty and one of the few remaining unspoilt, uncrowded wilderness wonders of the world.
