Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in Island Life - spend some time at a slower pace, a more connected and grounded place. Where we can share who lives in that house, who was driving that car and who baked the bread. This is a chance to learn about our community, our environment and our landscape.

Travel out through Wisanger - past salt lakes first exploited by sealers in the 1800s’. Travel

through back roads to Emu Bay - seeking out wallabies, kangaroos and other creatures in the

bush as we traverse the landscape. Break for a home-baked morning tea at Emu Bay - a long

white sand beach which is the centre of community life through the summer and a welcome

slice of solitude in winter.

Travel inland to Cygnet River - the largest drainage basin on the Island which morphs from a dry

river bed in summer to a broad flood-out in winter. This region provides habitat for koalas, many

parrots and bush birds in a setting first settled in 1819. Learn about the history of the Eucalyptus

oil industry - perhaps the most original Australian product.

Visit a private property amongst the redgum forest and enjoy a barbeque lunch. After lunch

check out the feeding and breeding habitat of the critically endangered Kangaroo Island glossy

black cockatoo before continuing to Seal Bay.

At Seal Bay take a private guided tour into the colony of Australian sea-lions where you can

learn about the feeding and breeding behaviour of these photogenic creatures. The experience

has been likened to that in the Galapagos, where people and animals enjoy “shared space”.

End the day at D'Estrees Bay where opportunities include looking for osprey or other seabirds,

learning about Wreckers' Beach or taking a walk around the marine lagoon at Wheaton's Beach.
