Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is the third largest island after Tasmania and Melville Island. There is plenty to see and do on the island from swimming and surfing off of its beaches, exploring the shipwrecks as well as walking through the beautiful landscape and seeing the plentiful wildlife in the many National Parks. You will see many native animals that have been put on the island free from threat by other animals such as dingoes, foxes and rabbits. Although there are thought to have been early inhabitants on the island they disappeared about 2250 years ago. This was until 1802 when Flinders named the island after all of the kangaroos that they discovered on the island and French Nicholas Baudin explored the island.
