Kangaroo Island Travel Blogs

I remember this past week, my last full week on this isle del kangaroos, dragging on and on like the old, brown Chevrolet Caprice Classic station wagon we had when i was a kid. The thing just wouldn't die. Now that the week is over, done with, dead, it seems like a blur. I didn't do a whole lot: a …

Started out in Melbourne, then on to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Sydney, Diving, and Brisbane

In June 2007, I spent two great days touring Kangaroo Island. There is a real diverse selection of wildlife on the Island and if you are spending time in South Australia as part of your trip then I would definitely recommend spending 2-3 days on KI, if not more, as 2 days was not long enough really…

This time instead of writing about overseas, I'd thought that I would write about a place close to home. Kangaroo Island is only a ferry ride away from here. We went there every month with Phils job for a year and loved every minute. It is a 45 Min ferry ride from Cape Jervois. It is a beautifull i…

I don't like this having to get up at 6.30 when I'm on holiday, but I guess needs must. Today we went over to Kangaroo Island to take in some of Australia's indigenous species which inhabit the island in such abundant numbers - kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, goannas and more. The tour…

The time difference (Auckland vs Adelaide) worked in our favour when it came to waking up early for our 0620 pickup.  We were collected by bus to connect to the ferry to Kangaroo Island ... the self-proclaimed Galapagos of Australia. As there is no public transport on the island and no rental…

These are memories from my journey across South Aussie that took me through the heaart of wine country, along the Great Ocean Road, into Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Melborne and on to Kangaroo Island.

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits. Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

O.K. folks you asked for it...the 10 weeks in Australia that we didn't get round to writing up.

Wednesday, August 26We're only on KI for 24 hours (much to everyone's shock and dismay) so we decided that booking tours was probably our most practical option. Last night's nocturnal tour worked out pretty well and today we've booked with Exceptional KI for what turns out to be a private tour of K…

A blog about our planned trip to Australia and Singapore in 2007

So after I wrote that last thing I went and had a boring time in Adelaide. I went to the Central Markets but all that was there was food. I only spent about 10 minutes walking around and then found a little cafe thing and had a raspberry smoothie and fruit salad with yogurt. How healthy of me. Afte…

I finally got to see some of Australia's notorious wildlife, as well as reconnect with my 1998 host mom on our weekend getaway to South Australia's Kangaroo Island.

My 4 month trip with my friend Ashley to Australia.

The best place that I visited during my time in Australia so far, has been Kangaroo Island. It is a small-ish island off the coast of Adelaide. We were on the island for 3 days and 2 nights. There are several cheep camping areas on the island and the best part was that most of the beaches wer…
