About Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island, off South Australia's coast, is a wildlife lover's paradise. Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and sea lions inhabit the island's protected reserves. The coastline features dramatic granite boulders, sea cliffs, and secluded beaches. Fleurieu Fur Seal Centre offers close encounters with marine mammals. Remarkable Rocks — giant granite formations on the southern coast — are spectacular at sunset. The island feels timeless.
