etting to Kangaroo Island is fairly
easy; hop onto the ferry in Cape
Jervis and 45 minutes later you
step down on the other end in
Penneshaw, KI’s main port. The 16km long
journey across the gulf is quite luxurious
aboard the large SeaLink ferry, while relaxing
in a comfortable lounge or taking in the views
from outside and feeling that refreshing sea
breeze on your face. About half way through
the journey you begin to see the contours of
the island and can’t help but wonder what it
has in store for you.
With a population of around 4500 people,
Kangaroo Island welcomes close to 200,000
visitors a year, but don’t be expecting crowds of
tourists similar to those in the gulf of Thailand.
Kangaroo Island absorbs the travellers into its
4400sq km allowing everyone to enjoy a quiet
private moment in its unspoilt surroundings.
