What's so unique about Kangaroo Island?
It delivers a microcosm of Australia: sheep and cattle farms, red dirt roads, deserted beaches, rugged coastline, eucalyptus trees to the horizon, friendly locals, delicious food and wine, and of course, marsupial-rich wildlife encounters. It is big enough to get lost in, but small enough to find yourself again.
What would you say are the five must-dos there?
1. Spend time hanging out with the Kangaroo Island kangaroos in the wild.
2. Dine like royalty and eat some King George whiting fish.
3. Try some of the excellent local wines. I suggest False Cape's Pinot Grigio or Islander Estate Vineyards' Old Rowley Shiraz Grenache.
4. Visit the Australian sea lions at Seal Bay Conservation Park.
5. Explore the expansive wilderness of Flinders Chase National Park and immerse yourself in the extraordinarily positive post-bushfire recovery.
