On the ferry to Kangaroo Island I met a man who had been visiting regularly for nearly 30 years, as that is where his wife originates from. I mentioned it was my first visit and he said, "Kangaroo Island is a very special place.....it seeps into you." He's right, it is an extraordinary place. It was quite a journey to get there. We had flown from Melbourne to Adelaide, then drove around 90 minute... Read Full Entry

Kangaroo Island
Yes, it's absolutely gorgeous. My time there was too short. It definitely gives Tasmania a run for its money - have you been? You'd love it!

Kangaroo and Joey

The easy wild life!
What a perfect combination--enjoying a gorgeous view, wine in hand and seeing amazing wildlife! This roo and joey are as adorable as those big kangaroos were fierce. A perfect OZ get-away.

Sounds heavenly
I love the sound of this place! I've never seen kangaroos in a 'boxing' fight, are they vocal when they fight? I've have seen a kangaroo kick a stupid tourist who tried to shake paws with it for a photo, and that was kinda comical too ;)

Heavenly indeed!
It really was kind of magical. No I don't remember them being very vocal, but I also didn't want to get too close. The koala on the other hand was very loud! I think that tourist who tried to shake hands with the kangaroo deserved the kick actually....but all the same hope it was a gentle one :)
