We had a lovely handful of days on Kangaroo Island, staying in a little house with a loft, beautiful views, delicious food and wine and an abundance of wildlife- although we didnt see any live kangaroos until the last day!
After an amazing, unforgettable year in Japan I dragged a way too heavy bag on wheels through Europe for more fantastic adventures. 5 years later I am off on a 9 week tour of SE Asia.

Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name...more info
Dear Amy,
KI is magical and timeless. Sorry we killed a Kangaroo when we were there; it jumped into our fast moving car so we are responsible for one less!
Glad you had a good time
Love Wendy
She's Alive!! See, local travels do make good travelblogs. As far as I know you are an American whose favorite Ice Cream is Cookies and Cream who happened to visit Kangaroo island! :D
hi! think most of the kangaroos are in my back paddock! Went for a short walk yesterday, saw masses of hares, a large dead fox, koala and loads of kangaroos! Bailey (dog) had the time of his life chasing them all!
Thanks for pics...lovely...I love KI!
Kangaroos GUARANTEED! Hi Amy,
If you want to see kangaroos up close in their natural environment, you could join a Dusk Kangaroo Quad Tour at Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action. You are guaranteed to see kangaroos and other wildlife and you will also enjoy riding the quads through winding bush trails and open grassland. We typically see from 20 to 150 kangaroos and often see koalas, echidnas and goannas. Based on Jetty Road at Vivonne Bay on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, you can also experience sandboarding and kayaking with hire gear from Kangaroo Island Outdoor Action.
Your friendly local guides are also a great source of handy information and local knowledge. looking forward to seeing you all down under down under.
Regards,
Brenton
