Kangaroo Island



It would be no exaggeration if one calls Kangaroo Island 'one of earth's last unspoilt refuges'. This famous destination in Australia literally crawls with wildlife. The beauty of this island, seven times the size of Singapore consists of echidnas, platypi, goannas, wallabies, kangaroos, native bush land, National or Conservation Park, seaside cottages and cliff-top cabins, wine, cheeses, oysters and many more.

About 10,000 years ago, Kangaroo Island was alienated from Australia by a rise in sea level. The place underwent disease, warfare, climatic change or exodus. In the year 1802, the British explorer Matthew Flinders named the land "Kanguroo" Island. The French explorer Nicolas Baudin mapped much of the island. The biggest town is Kingscote which was established on 27 July 1836. However, the island's resources were inadequate to hold up a large community.

Almost half of the island is full of vegetation. About 1/3 is conserved in National and Conservation Parks, including five Wilderness Protection Areas. The names of the main protected areas are:

1. Flinders Chase National Park
2. Seal Bay Conservation Park
3. Cape Gantheaume Wilderness Protection Area
4. Cape Bouguer Wilderness Protection Area
5. Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area
