When you come to Kangaroo Island, you will notice that the road is barreled down to a red dirt road. The Kangaroo island touring company; which has been taking travelers around this island and around, has been taking them ten miles off the coast of southern Australia from the past twenty years.

There are large patches of gum trees and the sun is quite bright in this area.  You will spot many limestone cliffs and aquamarine water. The flashes of color are quite bright and at some point you will realize that you will not be able to find this kind of terrain anywhere else in the world.

Kangaroo Island is about seventeen hundred square kilometers. It has most of everything that the average visitor could ever ask for. This is a much more rural part of Australia. The hills are filled with cattle and the air over here smells of eucalyptus. If you look into the trees you are sure to spot a curious koala. You will also find many coves and beaches that are colored like fawns.  The coast though is otherwise quite rocky. Here you will be able to find all the Australian animals, like the marsupials to the iguanas.   The island now also has many café houses serving fresh coffee and sea food. This island is also famous for its wine production.  It has a bunch of luxury hotels.

Kings Court is the biggest town on the island with a total population of about twelve hundred people. The main street in the front feels like a frontier town.

It would be a good idea to rent a car while you are on your short stay here on the island. The lodge that you are living in would most probably arrange it for u.

Take a walk around your lodge and keep your eyes peeled for the local animals here. You are sure to spot at least an echidna, which is basically a tiny porcupine. You might also spot wallabies which keep jumping in the middle of the road. Be cautious so that you don’t run into them.

All the water used here on the island is filtered rain water and the water is harvested quite elaborately in a wide system of roof gutters. The foot print of the property is almost just two and a half hectares. This is because the owners of the hotel donated the one hundred and two aces of land back to the state in an agreement that had to do with Australian heritage.
