‘Australia in one’ and it’s easy to see
why. It boasts many unique places
of cultural, natural and spiritual
significance. Its 2,000 mile coastline has
fantastic fishing, boating and surfing.
And for wildlife you can’t beat Kangaroo
Pertha zoo without fences, where
Island,
kangaroos and koalas abound, set in an
ocean that teems with fish, sea lions,
penguins, and even whales.
With wine and seafood aplenty, an
accessible Outback, stunning coastal
scenery and the warmest of welcomes,
South Australia is the country in a
nutshell. From the tree-lined boulevards
of its capital, Adelaide, to the rocky and
remote Flinders Ranges, no one knows
South Australia better than Bridge &
Wickers. Our specialist consultants would
be delighted to tailor-make your holiday
to this incredible destination.

HOP OVER
TO KANGAROO
ISLAND
F
reedom isn’t a state of mind,
it’s an island. And what an
island! Minutes from
the mainland, but
a million miles
away in other respects, Kangaroo Island
is a unique, unspoilt sanctuary for wildlife
and a place of natural, rugged beauty.
Just a short flight from Adelaide, it is one of
the best places to see the widest range of
Australian native animals in
their natural habitat.
There’s so much to do on
Kangaroo island: explore
untouched bushland, fish
on pristine beaches, observe
the wildlife on an eco tour or
take a self drive. Visit Seal
Bay and watch sea lions as
they rest, play and surf the
waves, or follow the Kangaroo
Island Shipwreck Trail along
the spectacular coast. Visit
Flinders Chase National Park and
watch the abundant wildlife, or
go bushwalking along trails
through forests that open up to
stunning beaches. And visit the
Stokes Bay
Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch which
reveal the amazing wild forces of nature.
Few places in the world are as committed to
sustainable tourism as Kangaroo Island. It is
protected through conservation zoning,
wildlife reserves and heritage listings, and
the local population are totally dedicated to
the cause. KI (as it’s known to the locals) is
an easy island to explore. Hire a car on the
mainland and take the short ferry ride across
and then discover its delights under your
own steam. Alternatively we have lots of
small group guided tours which we can
arrange. You can find details of one of our
favourites overleaf.

Remarkable Rocks
DISCOVER KANGAROO ISLAND ON A TWO DAY SMALL GROUP GUIDED TOUR
Kangaroo Island, just a hop away from
animals in its natural habitat, including many
Adelaide is one of the best places on the
rare species. It’s the Galapagos of Down
continent to see a menagerie of native
Under. Even in a day on KI you are likely to
spot koalas and wallabies (5,000 of the latter
to every person!), emus and kangaroos,
possums and penguins, seals and sea lions
and birdlife from cockatoos to ospreys.
Divorced from the mainland 10,000 years
ago, its evolution has been free of feral pests
and predators such as foxes. The entire
island has barely changed since explorer
Matthew Flinders first stepped ashore
back in 1802.

Day 1 - Flinders Chase National Park
This two-day tour of Kangaroo Island starts
at the airport on your arrival from Adelaide
and includes the Flinders Chase National
Park, and a visit to a 20,000 strong fur seal
colony at Admirals Arch, a spectacular
coastal grotto. You will also see Remarkable
Rocks, a cluster of huge natural granite
sculptures (think Henry Moore meets
Salvador Dali) and enjoy a memorable picnic
in the bush. You’ll stay the night at Stranraer
Homestead, a family run 1920s farmhouse
with a wraparound veranda and a spread of
5,000 acres. It’s very traditional in style, with
open fires in all four bedrooms and lots of
little comforting touches like the basket full
of woolly slippers just inside the door and a
set of Driza-Bones just in case the weather
turns wild. It’s right in the middle of the island,
with great views, and the food is terrific.
Day 2 - Seal Bay
On day two you’ll travel through some of
the island’s best farming country to the
North Coast and Lathami Conservation Park
where you’ll walk quietly through the bush
with your guide looking for wallabies, koalas
and kangaroos (what makes that noise,
whose tracks are those, and who left THAT
little pile there?) After another fine bush
picnic you’ll walk along the beach to see the
sea lions loafing, playing, nursing and
occasionally scrapping on the beach at Seal
Bay. In the late afternoon, return to the
airport for your flight back to Adelaide.
Our two day ‘KI in Style’ tour costs
from £775 pp, including small group
touring, flights and accommodation at
Stranraer Homestead
