To be honest I had no initial interest in visiting Kangaroo Island – mostly based on my own lack of knowledge – I guess I should have done a bit more research prior! Tourism Australia suggested I go – as it turns out it was a very good suggestion.

It’s always great to read about the remote places that aren’t the typical place to see and experience. Too often there are hidden treasures so close to a big city that no one knows about. What made you want to visit Kangaroo island? Did you hear about it before from someone?

Yes, and Australia certainly has its fair share of remote places where you can really get away from the crowds. I do love that about this country 🙂

Yes, Kangaroo Island is certainly not a cheap destination – even the transportation as you mentioned. There are several Caravan & Camping parks for the more budget conscious travelers. I think this is probably one reason you don’t find the crowds that you would normally find with such a unique spot so close to an urban area.

I love visiting remote places just to get away from crowds, and Australia is one of those “long term visit places” we’re planning. Will keep this island in mind!

I’m glad you are enjoying traveling in our home state, South Australia Dave, it really does have a lot to offer. Kangaroo Island is beautiful, we have been, but many years ago before we had our children. I think perhaps more people from Adelaide would go if the cost of getting there was not so prohibitive, I think last time I checked over $300 for a family on the ferry with the car. It doesn’t sound like much, but remember that’s just to get to the island! With so much beautiful coastline here on the mainland, I guess locals are a bit spoiled for choice really! But I do agree, it is a beautiful island, and everyone in Adelaide should try and get there at least once 🙂
