📍 Destination Overview
Kangaroo Island lies southwest of Adelaide in South Australia, Australia's third-largest island, often called a 'zoo without fences'. At Seal Bay one can watch Australian sea lions up close, while Flinders Chase's Remarkable Rocks and Admiral's Arch reveal coastal geology, and koalas, kangaroos and echidnas roam free.
